Add Chapters

To upload chapters to a project, follow these steps:

Open the project to which you want to add chapters.
On the chapter list card, click on the "Add Chapter" button.
You will then be directed to the chapter creation form, where you can add the details of the new chapter.

Chapter Creation Form

This form consists of three main steps, each requiring different information to be inputted.

Select the language of the chapter. This indicates the language in which your file is available.
Decide whether you want to localize the chapter or just upload it for hosting: a. If you only want to host your content, move on to number 3 below. b. If you want to localize, turn on the switch "Translate to Other Languages" and select the target language.

<aside> 💡 By turning on the "Auto-fill translation" switch in this step, INKR Translation Assistance will translate all transcribed text and automatically fill it into the appropriate text bubbles in your Working Canvas.

Select the reading style for the chapter, which can be either "Page-by-page" or "Vertical".
Click on "Continue" to proceed to the Select Folder step.

You can select as many folders containing image files as you wish. Each folder will become a chapter in your project.

Select or drag folders containing the chapter files to begin uploading. Ensure that your files meet these required file specifications:
1. Formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG
2. Maximum file size: 30MB
3. Minimum width:
  - For Page-by-page reading style: 1200px
  - For Vertical reading style: 600px
4. Recommended maximum height for Vertical reading style: 7500px.
  
  <aside> 💡 If image’s height > 7500, Studio will split the image into multiple parts using Smart Splitting Algorithm (this algorithm is to avoid splitting images cutting across text bubbles)

Once the folders are selected, you can change the chapter names by hovering over them.
Finally, click on "Start Upload" to initiate the Upload step.

Wait for the files to be uploaded to the Studio. The duration of the upload process will depend on the size and number of files being uploaded.
Once all the folders have been successfully uploaded, click on the "Go to Project Detail" button located in the top right corner.
You will be redirected to the project page, where the newly uploaded chapter will be displayed in the chapter list.
