Help & guides
Everything here is written for a composer opening Conduct for the first time — what each part is for, and the steps to actually get it working.
New here? Start with Getting started.
Getting started
What Conduct is for, which screen does what, and the first hour that makes the rest of the app make sense.
Projects, cues & versions
Set a project up so it stays coherent, then keep the Cue Log as the one place the score's truth lives.
Your project folder
Link a project to a folder on disk so Conduct can see your cue folders, keep their names straight, and pick up bounces.
Dropbox mode
Keep full-quality masters in your shared folder instead of uploading them, and link each cue to its file.
The DAW watcher
Bounce from your DAW and let Conduct pick the file up, match it to the right cue version, and file it for you.
Picture & AutoSpot
Load a cut, let AutoSpot suggest where the music goes, then triage its regions into real cues.
Sharing with directors
Send a secure link so a director or supervisor can listen and leave timecoded notes — no account, no download.
Recordings
Plan a recording day: the date, the running order, which cues are covered and who is in the room.
Tasks
The action layer: work moving through real stages, across every project, linked back to the cues it's about.
Delivery
Check a project is genuinely ready to send: what's still open, what's mixed, and what the package still needs.
Studio Chat
Keep conversation attached to the cue it's about, instead of scattered across email and messaging apps.
Working offline
Keep working on a plane or a bad hotel connection — the desktop app queues your changes and syncs when you're back.
Plans, seats & your account
How organizations, seats and billing fit together, and who actually needs to be a paid member.
Keyboard shortcuts
The handful worth learning. The command palette alone replaces most menu hunting.
Troubleshooting
The things that actually go wrong, what they mean, and how to get a person if none of it helps.

The whole guide is also a single PDF, generated from these same pages so it can never say something different from what you see here.
