Library

The Library keeps what belongs to the room: the characters’ sheets, the scenes (the maps) and the folders that organize everything.

The library with the Characters folder (with the sheets Bram and Aria) and the scene Crypt hall. The crossed-out eye marks what is hidden from players.

Open

Section titled “Open”
  • Double-click an item to open the sheet or the scene in a tab: next to the other sheets (or scenes), in an empty space, or in the last space you clicked (see Tabs and spaces). On a phone or tablet, one tap opens it, and holding your finger on the item opens its menu (the right-click one).
  • Right-click → Open in new window opens it straight in a window of its own (see Windows and several rooms).
  • Search the library filters the items by name.

The marks next to the name:

  • main: your main character’s sheet (see Character sheets);
  • yours: another sheet that is yours;
  • the crossed-out eye (only the game master sees it): the item is hidden from players.

Create

Section titled “Create”

The New item button, next to the search:

The game master's New item menu: New folder, New scene, New sheet… and Install plugin….

Right-clicking a folder offers the same options, to create the item inside it.

An item’s menu

Section titled “An item’s menu”

Right-click the item:

The menu of the sheet Aria: open, open in new window, export and import XML, use as main character, change the owner, make visible, rename, move and delete.
  • Open and Open in new window;
  • Export as XML…: saves the sheet’s data to a file, for example to take the sheet to another room;
  • Import from XML…: replaces the sheet’s data with an exported file’s (what was in the sheet is replaced);
  • Use as my main character;
  • Rename and Delete: the sheet’s owner and the game masters;
  • game masters only: Change the sheet owner…, Make visible to everyone or Make invisible, and Move to… (or drag the item onto a folder).

Only the sheet’s owner and the game masters change a sheet; the others, if they can see it, can only read it. See Players’ sheets for the game master’s side.
