The Support menu provides you with different channels of support.

If you still can't find what you're looking for, please contact us directly and ask us whatever you want.
Community Forums
This option is a link that will take you to our Community Forums where you can interact with other Kotobee Author users, you can ask questions or learn more about how they're using the platform and what kind of ebooks they're creating.
Kotobee Blog
This option is a link that will take you to Kotobee's blog where you'll find a database of articles on writing and Kotobee Author as well. The blog has blog posts out by both Kotobee's writing staff as well as guest posts provided by blog fans.
Official Social Pages
This option is a link that will take you to Kotobee Author's social media pages. So far, it will lead you to both our Facebook page and our Twitter page.
Open working directory
This option opens the directory where the current project you're working on is.
Open backup directory
This option opens a directory specific to that ebook on the user's computer that has a number of backups that were periodically made for the currently opened ebook. They are automatically made when you save your work, either normally or with a timestamp.
Keep in mind that there can be 1 backup at most per hour. So once a backup is taken, no matter how many times you save your work after that, another backup won't be taken until an hour has passed.
Test connection
This option checks that the connection to kotobee.com is working fine. Many universities block different software from making online connections to servers, so this is to check that they are able to make a simple connection to our server.
Show log
This option shows you your logging history by clicking on Help > Show log. Most often, this file will be required by customer support in case you are facing any difficulty issues.

- Message: where you'll explain your issue in detail for us to understand it and provide you with the proper help you need. You can also add pictures and attach screenshots to help give us a clear picture.
This option can also be found on the main platform next to your name on the right side.
