Who can do this?
Owners and co-authors with access use the hub. Which tools open depends on your rights and, for some formats, on the owner’s Vastitas studio. Editorial guests export in their own view.
Export and import (overview)
The “Export & Import” hub leads to all file-related tools with eight tiles.
What is it for?
You reach the hub in the project through the “Tools” group, with the “Export & Import” tile. It shows eight tiles, each leading to a tool of its own. From every tool, “← Export & Import” takes you back.
The tiles are “Export manuscript”, “Export Studio”, “Export story bible”, “JSON backup”, “Import”, “Import manuscript”, “Export log” and “Trash”. Together they cover how content leaves your project, comes in and is restored.
Which tools you can use depends on your role in the project and, in some cases, on the owner’s Vastitas studio. Guests have no access to the hub. The first time, it is worth a look at all the tiles, so you know where backup, import and trash are.
