What is an Auxiliary project?

Question

An Auxiliary Project:

• Is derived from a base project and is typically not a main project.
• Shares the Paratext 8.0 registration of the project on which it is based. That is, it will not actually get registered itself.
• Is helpful for developers and testers who need test-only projects.
• Can be a project that was created as an Auxiliary Project in Paratext 7.5.
• Can be used to keep a copy of a project for local use by a single user.
• Does not allow anyone to add a user, remove a user, or to change the role of a user. Users and their roles will be locked to whatever the users and their roles are in the base project. It is still possible, however, to change permissions for users.

You can Send/Receive an Auxiliary project via the Internet.

An example of an auxiliary project is one in which a user has written project notes rather than inserting them as project notes in the main project.
