Frequently Asked Questions
Where are my answers stored?
The tool runs in your browser. Text drafts are saved in this browser only after you choose Save draft. Uploaded artwork and audio are excluded from saved drafts. Nothing is sent to IME through these tools.
How should I use the result?
Treat the output as an editable working document. Review facts, rights statements, numbers, and links before sharing. Structured scoring and templates support preparation rather than predicting results.
Do I need to register?
