没有办法进行部分 Send/Receive，很抱歉让用户失望，但我认为这不会成为 Paratext 的一个功能。如果允许只同步项目的一部分，当（而不是如果）有人忘记同步整个项目时，就会引入各种合并问题。
如果你想想翻译过程，或者在电脑上处理文档的过程，直到你实际发布它之前，工作一直处于“未完成”状态。我想我理解这位用户的出发点，但尽早保存并经常保存是最安全、最好的做法。在本地计算机上保存是好习惯。经常进行 Send/Receive 则能让你额外获得在互联网、USB 驱动器或其他位置保存工作详细历史记录的能力。等待直到完成（任何任务或阶段）的危险在于，如果电脑崩溃或发生其他情况，他们可能会丢失工作。定期进行 Send/Receive 有助于确保如果电脑崩溃、被盗等，他们不会丢失大量工作。如果他们只进行部分 Send/Receive，同时等待工作的另一部分真正“完成”，可能需要几天或更长时间才能完成。如果他们的电脑崩溃或被盗等，他们可能会丢失几天甚至几周的工作。这个风险不值得冒。
Paratext 非常擅长区分哪些编辑是在何时由谁做出的，并将它们全部合并在一起。如果团队允许多个用户编辑同一章节/书籍，他们之间保持良好沟通以了解谁在哪里工作非常重要，以免不小心编辑另一个人正在编辑中的书籍/章节。此外，当人们在两次 Send/Receive 之间等待时间过长（通常是几个月）时，Paratext 在正确合并方面也曾出现过问题。
如果这位用户担心其他人看到他的工作，我会鼓励他们向其他人沟通他们尚未完成。但他们仍然应该定期进行 Send/Receive，至少每天一次，更多更好。我鼓励人们在以下时间进行 Send/Receive：
开始一天时
上午休息时
午餐时间
下午休息时
结束一天时
此外，在完成主要任务（例如，完成一章、顾问对章节/书籍的检查等）的任何时候进行 Send/Receive 也是有帮助的。
显然，对用户来说什么是合理的。但每天工作时至少进行一次 Send/Receive 很重要。如果访问互联网是个问题，那么让他们在一天/一周内定期向便携式 USB 驱动器进行 Send/Receive，并在能够时进行互联网 Send/Receive。
There is no way to do a partial Send/Receive, and I’m sorry to disappoint the user, but I do not imagine it would become a feature in Paratext. Opening up the possibility of only syncing only part of the project would introduce all sorts of merge issues when (not if) somebody were to forget to sync the whole project.
If you think about the translation process, or the process of working on a document on your computer, the work is in a constant state of “unfinished” until you actually publish it. I think I understand where this user is coming from, but it is just the safest and best practice to save early and save often. Saving locally on the computer is good practice. Doing a Send/Receive often then gives you the additional ability to save a detailed history of your work on the Internet, a USB Drive, or other location. The danger of waiting until they are finished (with any task or stage) is that they could lose work if their computer crashed or something. Doing a regular Send/Receive helps ensure they will NOT lose a lot of work if their computer crashes, is stolen, etc. If they only did a partial Send/Receive, while waiting until a different part of their work was indeed “finished”, it could be days or longer before they are finished. Should their computer crash or be stolen, etc, they could lose days or even weeks of work. It’s not worth the risk.
Paratext is very good at distinguishing what edits were made, when and by whom, and merging them all together. If the team has allowed more than one user to edit the same chapter/book, it is very important for them to be in good communication about who is working where so they don’t accidentally edit a book/chapter that another person was in the middle of editing. There have also been issues with Paratext having trouble merging properly when people wait too long between Send/Receives (usually months).
If this user is concerned about other people seeing his work, I would encourage them to communicate to others that they are not done. But they should still do a regular Send/Receive, at least once/day, and more is better. I have encouraged people to do a Send/Receive at these times:
To start the day
Morning break
Lunchtime
Afternoon break
To finish the day
As well, it would be helpful to do a Send/Receive at any time they complete a major task (for example, finish a chapter, consultant check of a chapter/book, etc).
Obviously, whatever is reasonable for the user. But at least once every day they are working is important. If accessing the Internet is an issue, then have them do a regular Send/Receive to a portable USB Drive throughout the day/week and do an Internet Send/Receive when they are able.
