Owners, admins and content VAs Place files with single keys, work in full screen, and get a deleted level back after a mistake.

Before you start

  • You need an owner, admin or content VA account. A content VA works only on the creators assigned to them.
  • Focus mode and the vault next to the ladder need a browser window at least 1,024 pixels wide. A phone, a tablet held upright or a narrower window shows no Focus button. It shows no vault next to the ladder either. So F and V do nothing there, and there are no files to place with the number keys.

Keyboard shortcuts

The shortcuts work anywhere on the AI Content tab, in Focus mode or not. They do nothing while you type in a box or a window is open. They also do nothing while you hold Ctrl or Cmd. On a free level, a number key and T do the same thing. The files go on the level’s one free strip.

Map files with the keyboard

Open the collection

On the AI Content tab, click the collection in the collection list. Its levels open on the ladder.
2

Open the vault

Press V. The vault opens next to the ladder.

Select the files

Click a file in the vault. To select a run of files, hold Shift and click the last one. The end of the ladder shows how many files you selected.

Focus mode gives the board the whole browser window.

Click Exit focus. You can also press Esc when no file is selected.

Pause instead of deleting

A paused level or collection keeps everything: its files, name, price and numbers. Hugo skips it until you resume it. We recommend pausing a level that has sales, instead of deleting it.
  • To pause a level, click the three dots (⋯) on its row. Then select Pause level. In the level editor, you can also turn off Active · Hugo may offer this level and click Save level.
  • To pause a collection, point to it in the collection list and click its three dots (⋯). Then select Pause collection.
  • To pause a collection, you can also click Edit at the top of the ladder. Then click Pause in the Pause or delete box. On a phone, this is the only way to pause a collection.
To bring a level or a collection back, select Resume level or Resume collection in the same menu.

Undo a delete

When you delete a level, a collection, a group or a file on a level, a message with Undo appears. Click Undo within 10 seconds to bring it back.

1 Undo, for 10 seconds

If you leave the AI Content tab, or switch to another creator, the delete goes through at once. Undo then no longer works.
What each delete does:
  • Delete level, in the row’s menu: a level that was never sent goes at once, with Undo. A level that was sent or bought asks first. Its sales stay in reports, and its files stay in the vault. A fan who was about to be offered it gets the next level instead.
  • Delete collection, in the collection’s menu, always asks first. Its levels go with it, and its files stay in the vault. Hugo stops offering its levels at once, and a fan in the middle of a Story gets no next level.
  • Delete group, in the group’s menu, does not ask. Its collections stay, without a group.
In a window that asks first, Keep it cancels the delete. Only deletes can be undone. Other changes have no undo once they are saved. This covers names and prices changed on the row, files you add or move, and the order of levels.

Keep the collection list tidy with groups

A group is a heading in your collection list. Hugo never reads it.
  • To fold or unfold a group, click its heading. OnlyX remembers this for each creator in your browser.
  • To rename a group, double-click its heading. Type the new name. Then press Enter, or Esc to cancel. The group’s menu also has Rename group.
  • To add a collection to a group, point to the group’s heading and click its three dots (⋯). Then select New collection here.
  • To move a collection, click its three dots (⋯) and select Move to group. Then pick a group, or No group.
  • To make a new group, open New collection or Edit. In Group, select + New group. In the app, there is no other way to make a group.

If something goes wrong

You pressed a level’s number with no file selected. Click the files in the vault first. The message also says which key to press next.
Check these causes:
  • You are typing in a box, or a window is open. Close it, or click an empty part of the board.
  • The level does not exist. For example, 7 does nothing on a collection with four levels.
  • The browser window is narrower than 1,024 pixels, for example on a phone or a tablet held upright. There the vault does not open next to the ladder, so there are no files to select. Widen the window, or turn the tablet sideways.
The Focus button shows only when the browser window is at least 1,024 pixels wide. On a phone, a tablet held upright or a narrow browser window, it is hidden. Widen the window, or turn the tablet sideways.
The 10 seconds have passed, or you left the tab, so the delete went through. Build the level or collection again. Its files are still in the vault, and its sales are still in reports.
