Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Readers can add comments to any page or media file of a book by clicking the Comment icon at the bottom of each page. Comments, however, are moderated, and will not become visible on the site until an Author for the book explicitly makes them live. To check whether your book has comments awaiting moderation, click "Dashboard" in the top-right corner. If the "Comments" tab contains a red badge, that number inside indicates the number of comments which are not currently live. Click the tab to see the comments; you can click on the URI for each one to read it in its entirety. You can make a comment live either by clicking the "Make Visible" button at the bottom of the comment's page, or by clicking the "Edit" button for the comment in the Comments tab, setting "Live?" to True, and clicking Save.
