Files, cells & navigation
Inside a project, your text is organised into files and cells.
Files and cells
Section titled “Files and cells”- A file is a unit of content — typically one book or document section. A project can have many files.
- A cell is the atomic translation unit: one paired piece of source and target text — a verse, a heading, a footnote, or another canonical segment. Cells are what you actually edit.
Files are broken into sections so a long file stays readable — for scripture, a section is a chapter.
Moving between sections
Section titled “Moving between sections”Expand a file in the sidebar and its sections appear as clickable rows, each with small translated and validated progress bars. Click one to jump straight to that section’s cells.
Sections come from each cell’s canonical reference (for example GEN 1 or
MAT 5), so the list always reflects the text you actually have — no manual
setup needed.
Picking up where you left off
Section titled “Picking up where you left off”When you reopen a project, Aquilla restores your last location — the file and section you were on. You can step away and come straight back to where you were working.
Searching and jumping around
Section titled “Searching and jumping around”Beyond the section list, use the editor to scroll through cells in order. The sidebar’s quick links (Rules, Comments, Voice, Members, Settings) take you to the project’s other areas without losing your place in the text.
