File Management

Each Scriptora paper is a workspace — a collection of LaTeX files, BibTeX files, figures, and other assets stored on the server. You manage these through the file sidebar.

File sidebar

Click the Files tab in the left sidebar to see your workspace. Files are grouped by type:

• .tex files — LaTeX source
• .bib files — BibTeX references
• figures/ — images and generated plots
• Other assets — custom classes (.cls), style files (.sty), data files

Creating files

Click + New File at the top of the file sidebar. Allowed file types:

Uploading files

Click Upload to upload a file from your computer. Supported uploads include images, PDFs, data files, and style files.

Archive upload

To upload a complete arXiv .tar.gz or .zip archive: click the archive upload button in the sidebar header. Scriptora extracts the archive and imports all files into your workspace, preserving the directory structure.

Re-uploading files

If you need to replace an existing file (e.g., update a figure), use the re-upload option from the file's context menu. The file is overwritten in place — all \includegraphics references continue to work.

Renaming files

Click the ⋯ menu next to any file → Rename.

Deleting files

Click the ⋯ menu → Delete. Deletion is permanent — there is no undo.

The main file

main.tex is the root file that LaTeX compiles. When you click Compile, Scriptora always compiles main.tex. If you rename your root file, you'll need to update the compile configuration.

Figures folder

The AI saves all generated figures to figures/. The folder is created automatically on first use. Files are referenced in LaTeX as \includegraphics{figures/filename}.

Image files in the sidebar show thumbnail previews so you can quickly identify your figures without opening them.

Directory grouping

Files in the sidebar are automatically grouped by directory. The figures/ directory collapses to keep your workspace tidy when you have many generated plots.
