The rights log is a card on each book's page, on the Publisher plan. It keeps what you hold the rights to, and what you licensed to someone else, with the contracts beside them, so nobody has to dig through email when a store, a distributor or a translator asks.
- The start agreement first. The log opens with the project start agreement as the studio recorded it: who accepted it, and when.
- An entry for each right or licence. Translation rights, the cover art's licence, illustrations and photos, a font's licence, permission for quoted text, audio rights, or anything else. Each says who granted them (or who you licensed them to), the languages it covers (or every language), the territory, the start and end dates, a reference such as the contract's number, and notes.
- The signed document. Add the contract or licence to its entry as a PDF or a picture (JPEG, PNG or WebP), up to 25 MB. It's checked for viruses, and you can download or replace it at any time.
- What to look at. The log warns you when rights have ended or end within 90 days, when a translated edition has no translation rights on file, and when the cover art has no licence on file.
- Who sees it. You and your co-authors. Contracts can hold fees and names, so editors, translators, proofreaders, designers and clients don't see the log, nor co-authors given only some editions.
- Kept with your account. The log and its documents are in your account's export. Deleting a book deletes its log too, and the studio says so before it goes.
