Thanks daplunk, your video was spot on.

I can't recommend those videos highly enough to both new and old. He does a great job of showing how to do things, talks about why he does it, and then whether he is even happy with the way it works. Invaluable for users both new and old. All this with a great accent.

How he has time for all these projects and having two small kids is beyond me but I really appreciate his efforts.

Thanks mate ��

I'm going to not be around for a bit though... I work for a very large it organisation supporting a very large government body who is all over the national news right now for a very bad situation.... And apparently that involves 23 hours shift....

See you on the other side!

What's the difference between World Almanac and Story Almanac? I get that Story is sort of meant to be a subset of World, but what would be the drawback to just listing everything under World?

A) Just to clarify it's no longer World v.s. Story, but world v.s. Views (as you can create multiple views with selected content, and Story is just one of them)

B) The data ALL resides under the World Almanac, the views are just display filters.

C) There is no technical drawback its a matter of convenience. Views help de-clutter your navigation screens.

D) With the Export Partial Realms - Views can help you define the data you want and then assign Export-Tags to all relevant data.

Happy Gamimg

Thanks! I've got another question about content categories too:

Is it possible to move a character/group/place into a "contained" list or place after the fact? For example, I created a town, then the country it was in. I realized the town should be a contained topic under the country, but I wasn't able to move it. I ended up deleting the initial town and creating it again using "Create contained topic." Is there a way to prevent me having to do that in the future?

Drag and Drop should work on the navigation pane

In addition to drag-and-drop, you can set the container for an topic/article near the top within the transitions pane on the right. But drag-and-drop is usually the fastest and easiest.

yes.

I've found that drag and drop isn't the easiest thing in RW but if you look on the right side of the interface, with the topic you want to move open, you will see Containing Topic with the current container for the topic and one of the hammer and wrench option icons. If you left click the icon you get 2 options. Clear the Container and Replace the Container. If the topic doesn't have a current container the line for Containing Topic will instead have a blue circle + symbol which allows you to add one.
