Frequently asked questions

The practical questions, answered clearly.

A guide to how Ligata keeps the work of making a book connected, visible, and under human control.

A book has more than one kind of question.

What is Ligata?

Ligata is a connected place for writing, planning, review, publication, and listening editions. The manuscript remains continuous while each stage has its own clear workflow.

Who is Ligata for?

Ligata is for writers shaping a book, editors and reviewers working in context, and publishing teams preparing a considered edition together.

Can I write while I am offline?

Yes. Ligata keeps a durable device copy and clearly distinguishes work saved on this device from work waiting to sync. When a connection returns, synchronization can continue without treating a local save as a remote one.

How does review work?

Comments, tracked suggestions, assignments, page state, and approvals give each decision a visible place. A suggestion is accepted or rejected deliberately, rather than becoming an untraceable edit.

Can AI change accepted manuscript content?

No. AI creates a personal, document-aware preview. A person can choose to promote a useful result to a tracked suggestion, where it follows the visible review path before it becomes accepted work.

What happens when I restore an earlier version?

Restore creates fresh page generations. An earlier snapshot remains a record and is never merged into the active working document, so restoring does not overwrite the manuscript in front of you.

Can a book become an EPUB or audiobook?

Yes. Ligata builds a validated EPUB 3.3 from a selected, immutable publication manifest. A pinned publication version can also become a chaptered, single-narrator audiobook with an editable narration overlay.

How is access to a book managed?

Organization membership and project roles define access. Authorization defaults to deny at the network and storage seams around a tenant, and interface controls are not treated as the security boundary.
