Connecting Studio
Adding a NarraLeaf Team server in Studio, trusting its certificate, and getting a project.
An author is given three things: the server's address, an account, and the server's certificate fingerprint. Everything else Studio asks the server for.
Adding a server
Open Team in the launcher
Team is one of the entries in the launcher. Servers this installation is signed in to are listed there.
Add a server
Add a server opens the dialog. Server address takes the address the operator gave, in the form nlteam://team.example.com:41402.
Trust the certificate
A server issues its own certificate unless the organization supplied one. Studio reports The server at that address was not trusted. and offers to trust it.
Compare the fingerprint Studio shows with the one the operator sent, then accept it. Studio adds the authority to this account's trust store, and the operating system may ask for a password.
Sign in
Sign in takes the username and password of an account on that server.
The server then appears under Team with its projects.
Getting a project
Open the server under Team and the Projects tab lists what it holds. Each project's page carries one action:
- Get copies the project to this machine. Studio asks where the copy goes.
- Open opens a project this machine already holds. A project already on this machine is marked On this machine.
A project taken this way keeps its connection to the server, so versions recorded in it are sent there.
Sending a project to a server
A project created on this machine is sent to a server from the version rail in the workspace. A project created for a server is published as it is made, on the wizard's last step.
Signing out
The NarraLeaf Team section of Studio's settings lists the servers this installation is signed in to and the account used for each. Removing a server there forgets its token and its authority. Projects already on this machine are untouched.
When a server does not answer
| What Studio reports | What it means |
|---|---|
| This server did not answer. | The address is wrong, or 41402 is not reachable from this machine. |
| The server at that address is not a NarraLeaf Team server. | Something answered, and it was not a Team server. |
| This server refused the account signed in here. | The account was disabled, or its tokens were refused. Ask an operator. |
| This server cannot be asked from this installation. | The stored token is gone. Add the server again. |
A project that opens but cannot send a version is usually a server whose address is not in the token. An operator checks that with nlteam status on the server.
