Exporting a Book and Passing to QA
When you finish a book you need to export the project and then pass it to QA for Quality Assurance.
Before a project has been exported, there will be text near the top of the main project page that reads: This project has not yet been exported.
Below are links for further instructions:
-
Instructions include how to export, how and when to compress a file, how and when to reset an export, and how to re-export after any project revisions. This option does not appear until you have finished your book and saved the metadata.

-
Make sure that you have gone through all the steps to reorder and rename the tracks as needed, and you have double-checked your work before you export. It is very important that we are naming the sections correctly, and this is the time to just take a moment to go over your work before exporting. See
QA Checklist help you ensure you finished all the steps
If you are a Production Assistant, remember to also pass the RT ticket back to the Production Coordinator after you export the book and pass it to QA.
Sometimes the file can not be compressed to fit on a CD. If this is the case:
A phrase on the export page will read: This project is too large to fit on a single CD. Unfortunately, no audio presets are available to make it so. Before continuing, please explore external compression options that may reduce the number of CD's required.
Select Export as usual without compression. For more information go to
