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.

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.
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
- 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.
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.


1 Rename group · 2 New collection here · 3 Delete group

Nothing happens when I press a key
Nothing happens when I press a key
- 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.
