Editor

The editor screen allows for creation and modification of glot files. Its appearance is similar to the Reader, however the functionality is quite different. This page outlines all operations available from the editor screen.

Hotkeys for many operations are available when editing from a computer or device with connected keyboard.

Document Creation

To create a new document, select "New Document" from the editor action menu:

new_document

From the dialog, select an initial language for the document to be created in, then press confirm to create the document:

new_document_language

Document Modification

The following aspects of a document may be modified:

Save & Export

Changes made in the editor are not persisted until a document is either saved or exported.

To save a document to your collection, press the button labeled "Save" from the editor screen action menu:
