As Paratext supporters, what would you include in a list of the 5 (or so) most frequently asked questions?
I started a list in a Google doc and would appreciate your thoughts.
Hi james_post,
Many of the questions that I receive are teaching related, that is, how to use Paratext well. Some of my frequently asked questions:
How do I see what the text used to say? → Using the “See Changes” in the notes window, and Compare Versions in the menu.
How do I resolve this error message or get this problem to go away? → Fixing 1) language settings. 2) scripture reference settings. 3) checking inventories. 4) proper formatting and slash-markers.
Why haven’t I received the latest changes? → Sometimes when the internet is down, users end up sending changes to a local folder without realizing. Or they haven’t actually ticked the right projects in Send/Receive, often because they don’t normally change the check-marks, but if they get changed once, they forget to adjust them again later.
I am not seeing the changes from someone else? PT has lost my recent changes? How do I run and fix basic checks? How do I resolve Conflicts? Why do I keep getting S/R Conflicts? Why is Paratext so slow on my laptop?
