Archiving WriteRAP files

Do you need to archive WriteRAP files?

Probably.

There are three situations to consider:

• Tier 1 manuscript
• Tiers 2-4 WriteRAP production files
• Tier 5 composition files

1. For Tier 1, final WriteRAP files should be considered pre-production working files, which traditionally don't get archived in the Pearson repository. They can be archived on the WriteRAP server for later retrieval if needed.
2. In Tiers 2-4, these are production files and should be saved. They may represent the master content file, or they may be used for the next edition instead of a new extraction. We recommend that in addition to being archived on the WriteRAP server, that the entire WriteRAP project should be archived in the Pearson repository. The project administrator can go to the Edit Project page (WriteRAP Admin > Projects > ProjectName) and click on the Package button. A folder will be downloaded. Rename that folder "WriteRAP" and place in the Support folder in the completed archive.
3. In Tier 5, your final WriteRAP files are your composition files, and should be stored as such. In addition to archiving on the WriteRAP server, these should also be packaged and downloaded. Files should be correctly named and organized according to composition file standards. WriteRAP-specific files should remain in the Support folder in a folder specifically named "WriteRAP."
