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.

Paths are created by linking pages together to create "relationships." Pages can also be added to the menu, so you can see them using the navigation at the top of the screen. This workshop will walk you through the creation of a single two-page path, but of course paths can branch, extend, circulate, and come back together again.
