Edit, replace and share

Change a Scroll's details, replace its ideas with a new file, and choose who can read it.

Edit the details

Open your Scroll and choose Edit Scroll. You can change the title, authors, description, tags, original URL, year or period, and the cover. The tags you set here are for the Scroll's original language; translations take theirs from the file.

Replace the ideas

To change the ideas themselves, edit your file and import it again: use Replace scroll content on the edit page. Importing a file with the same title and authors from Import a Scroll replaces the existing Scroll too, instead of creating a second one.

• The new file sets the complete list of languages: a translation missing from it is removed.
• The original language stays the same.
• Ideas and examples that are still in the file are matched to the old ones, so they keep their reading history.

As with a new import, nothing changes until you review and save.

Who can read it

Choosing Friends-only or Public asks you to confirm you have the rights to the content.

A public Scroll appears on Discover, author pages and search only after an administrator approves it. Until then it can still be read by its link. You get an email when it is approved. An administrator can also decline a Scroll: it becomes private, and you are told why.

Approval is cleared, and the Scroll waits for review again, when you change its visibility, replace a public Scroll's content, or edit its title, authors, description, tags, original URL, year or period.

Covers

A Scroll shows either generated artwork or an image you upload. Uploads can be JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB and 20 megapixels; GIF, SVG, HEIC and animated images are not accepted. Crop the image to the portrait frame before saving.
