Requirements

The new style of creating and submitting edits requires the most up to date copy of Flashpoint. You can get a preview of this via the most recent installer https://github.com/FlashpointProject/FlashpointComponentTools/releases

You will also need to open the config menu in Flashpoint and toggle the Enable Editing option.

This page will get fleshed out as time passes and we're closer to stable.

Metadata Changes are limited to staff temporarily.

Content Patches are open to trial curators like regular submissions are.
