Connect a Paratext Project

Before you can access a Paratext project in Scripture Forge, it needs to be connected to Scripture Forge. Connecting a project creates a copy of the Paratext project in Scripture Forge that can be synced with Paratext.

In Paratext, each member of the project has a copy of the project on their own computer, and Send/Receive is used to share changes with other members. When a project is connected to Scripture Forge, all members of the project in Scripture Forge work on a single copy of the project, so any change made by one member is immediately seen by another member, if both members are online. These changes will be sent to the Paratext project when a sync is done in Scripture Forge, and any changes made in Paratext will be synced to the Scripture Forge project.

To connect a Paratext project in Scripture Forge, log in with Paratext. When you log in, the My projects page will load. If you are on a different page in Scripture Forge you can get to the My projects page by clicking the Scripture Forge logo in the top-left corner of the page. The My projects page lists all projects you are a member of in Paratext, including those that are connected to Scripture Forge, and those that are not yet connected. If a project has already been connected and you are a member of the Paratext project, you can join the Scripture Forge project by clicking Join. If the project hasn't been connected yet, and you are an admin of the project, click Connect. Only admins can connect a project on this page.
