In this case, your team will use Desktop to work in this way:
The team works in team audio projects ().
The team can work online or offline, as needed.
Team can share files to keep the audio project current.
The team can integrate with Paratext locally or online.
About Audio Project Manager discusses reasons why you may need to be online only occasionally.
On the Internet, you can refer to: https://software.sil.org/audioprojectmanager/resources/tutorial/occasionally-connected-team/
If this is not the way you want to work, see Start from the beginning overview.
The Desktop app is installed.
You need to have one or more audio files or a microphone so you can record them.
If you want to use a spreadsheet, it must be available.
All setup work must be done while online.
The person with the role of Admin must start the process.
Start the Desktop app.
On the Getting Started page, click Work Online that is below Set up a team audio project.
Click Log In to log in so you can work online.
Add a team.
Enter information in the Publishing area of the Team Settings dialog box if the team will publish to the Akuo Spoken Bible app.
Invite people.
After all the invitations have been accepted, do any of the following:
Add one or more peer groups.
Choose team-level permissions for an audio project.
Add a Permission Scheme and assign sections to individual members or peer groups.
Create a new audio project.
After all the assignments are completed, do one of these steps:
Export the project as a PTF file to a removable device, such a USB flash drive.
Then, import those PTF files from the USB flash drive to each computer that will be used by a team member.
Have each team member log in to go online with Desktop and then do the steps in Go Offline / Go Online.
To update one or more computers with changes made by other team members while offline (), each one can export an ITF file to the USB flash drive, and each member can import that file. The more members you have on the team, the more iterations it will take to get everyone fully up to date.
However, the project Admin may be the only person who needs a fully up-to-date set of projects. In this case, only the Admin would need to import the ITF files.
Alternatively, if the entire team will have internet access at some point in time, they could wait and have everyone go online to update the server. Of course, the server will only be as up-to-date as the more recent person who went online. So some members may need to log in again after the last team member has updated the server.
