Troubleshooting

• Import slow? Large manuscripts (300+ pages) take up to 2 minutes
• Structure wrong? Reorganize sections easily in the editor after import
• Missing content? Check all sidebar tabs - content may be organized differently

Note

Most import “issues” are just content organized differently than expected. Use the editor to adjust structure after import.
