UPLOAD CHANGES AND DOWNLOAD UPDATES
Tip: For an optimal workflow during both pre-production and shooting, please upload your file at least once per day.
This practice helps prevent slowdowns and minimizes potential issues.
53. Tap here.
Alert: ALWAYS READ POP UPS and make sure that you select the right response!
Publishing will upload changes and download updates - depending on the file size, this may take a couple of minutes. Do not do this unless you have time.
9 times out of 10, a pop-up means that what you are about to do is something you cannot undo.
YES and NO are not always in the same position in ScriptE, and this is completely intentional to avoid autopilot answers to get rid of the pop-up, but this is not foolproof. Again: ALWAYS READ POP UPS!
54. Tap here.
55. Tap here.
56. A message will show. Then, when the upload is complete, it will close.
