Keep the working life together

Gigs → Contacts → Create contact keeps a person you work with. Name is the starting point; add Role, Venue / organization, Email, Phone and Good to remember when useful.

Calendars & contacts also offers Google & iCloud contacts when available. This is a selection import, not a two-way mirror of your address book. Disconnecting a provider does not remove people already imported into Red.

1. For a manual contact, enter the details and choose Save contact. Open their named card to edit later.
2. For an available connection, choose Connect Google Contacts or Connect iCloud Contacts. A connected account offers Choose Google contacts or Choose iCloud contacts.
3. Search in Choose contacts to add, select the people you want and choose Import selected. Existing matches are skipped.
4. Open the gig, choose the person in Contact and Save gig to keep that association.

Open Calendars & contacts for the connection options available to you. Google calendar import and linked sync are different from bringing in a calendar file. Gmail travel reading is a separate choice from Calendar or Contacts permission.

Review the destination calendar and the selected events. A calendar permission can cover more than the items you choose to import into Red.

1. For Google, choose the calendar you own, then Bring from Google, select events and Import selected.
2. Send from Red and Send & link gig are the outgoing Google actions when offered. Sync now checks linked changes.
3. For iCloud or Outlook import, review the date preview before Import selected. A calendar-file import is a separate route.
4. Check linked changes before relying on them. Google sync covers the supported title, date, showtime, timezone and booking status; location after the first copy stays in its own app. Guest events are excluded and archived gig sync pauses.

In Travel & lodging, choose How are you traveling? and fill in the details that matter for this booking. Keep connections, return journeys, lodging, ground transport and arrival instructions together. Edit original notes lets you return to the notes behind the trip.

Find travel in Gmail, Calculate road mileage, Use national gas price and Plan the whole run are separate tools. Read their result before applying it. The national gas price is a dated U.S. estimate, and a proposed route still needs your judgment.

1. Open the gig and Travel & lodging.
2. Add or review the journey and lodging details, then Save gig.
3. If you use a travel tool, check its source, dates and assumptions before choosing an apply action such as Use this route.

I got paid starts with the gig and money actually received. Review the amount, currency and payment date before Save income.

Add expense accepts the Gig, Amount, Currency and Date paid, with Merchant or expense name, Category and an optional Note. A receipt can sit beside that entry. Use Keep draft and close when you need to stop before saving.

1. Choose I got paid or Add expense for the record you want.
2. Select the gig and check the money and date fields.
3. Choose Save income or Save expense, then read the confirmation.
4. For an uncertain reply, Check saved entry before deciding whether Retry save is needed.

Add receipt accepts a photo or PDF. Keep the page open while its original uploads. Review receipt can start Red’s reader; you can also enter the details yourself. Fields marked Needs your check still need your review.

The original and the expense are separate records. Show receipts already filed to expenses helps you find filed originals; Receipt trash lets you restore hidden receipts.

1. Choose Add receipt and select the original.
2. Wait for upload, then choose Review receipt.
3. Compare the suggested details with View original or View email and choose the right gig.
4. Correct the fields as needed, then Save expense and check the result.

Keep draft and close leaves the unfinished entry on this device. Resume kept entry lets you continue it. That draft is separate from a confirmed account save.

When a save could not be confirmed, use Check saved entry before Retry save. A delayed reply is not proof that nothing was saved. Keep the current page and any recovery copy until the state is clear.

In Income & expenses, select the period or gig you mean before Download CSV. A cash report follows when money was paid or received. An agreed-fee summary follows the show dates instead, so the two answer different questions.

Currency & dates changes defaults used in new entries. Check the currency and dates on each record rather than assuming a default corrected an older entry.

Supported writing, manual Board work, sets and existing gig or preference edits can be kept on this device before upload. The downloaded material and files you need must already be here. Not every advanced action joins the offline queue.

New AI work, transcription, connected services and account actions need a connection. Some exports and organization actions also need one. The action and status shown by Red tell you whether that particular job can continue.

The top Device status button may instead read Sync needs review, Saved here · sync pending, Device download incomplete or Retry device storage. Those labels point to different problems; a storage read failure is not an empty Library.

Download device copy keeps a recovery file for the selected work. Reconnect and Check for updates, then use the guide for that item. A comparison needs a connection, and a newer saved version may require another look before you choose.

1. Open the current status button and read the item that needs attention.
2. Keep a device recovery copy when offered.
3. Check for updates after reconnecting.
4. Compare the versions, title or settings involved and make the specific choice Red offers.

Save needs attention · keep this window open means you should keep the page and copy your latest words somewhere safe while resolving the save. Signing out or clearing storage is not a repair for an unresolved local edit.

Writing kept before New offers Download kept writing for an earlier local recovery copy. It does not create a Library item or confirm the old upload. Keep that file until you have checked where the writing belongs and what actually saved.

A comparison is a decision about which saved or device version to use. Read the words and the action’s explanation before confirming; replacing one copy is not automatically a merge or a keep-both operation.

A recovery download gives you another file to inspect. An account backup is a different, broader copy of saved account work. Keep both kinds of file private and use the one that matches the recovery job.

Your voice gives Red explicit context about your style, audience and boundaries. Add what helps, review the proposed profile and choose Remember this when it reflects your intent. You can return and change it later.

Use this voice profile controls inclusion in writing requests. This is saved context, rather than a promise of automatic voice learning. Changed preferences apply to the next reply; a connected voice conversation ends so a new session can use them.

AI sharing explains relevant writing and profile details that can accompany an authorized writing request. Allow writing requests remembers the choice for this Red account on this device. Ask me next time asks again when needed.

You can type, handwrite, check spelling and save without turning writing requests on. Read each separate live-voice, recording or complete-show-review choice for its own material scope. Opening saved evidence or a guide is not permission to start a new AI request.

Devices lets you rename a sign-in or deliberately sign it out. A separate browser or private window can count as another device. If sign-in asks you to make room, choose the device you mean or Cancel sign-in.

Signing out leaves saved account writing in the account and ends an active conversation. It does not remotely erase downloaded or unsynced copies from another device. Use Device status and preserve any unresolved writing on that device before removing its sign-in.

Create backup asks current work to finish saving, then Download backup keeps a portable copy of saved account work and history. Device-only notes must first be saved to the account if you want them included. Downloaded backups are not password-protected, so store them somewhere private.

Choose backup checks an existing file. Read Now beside In this backup, the explanation and any Your voice choice before deciding. Restore this backup replaces saved account work; it makes a safety copy first, keeps sign-in and spending limits, signs other sessions out and does not restart conversations or paid processing.

1. For a new copy, choose Create backup and wait for readiness.
2. Choose Download backup and keep the file privately.
3. To inspect an existing copy, choose Choose backup and let Red check it.
4. Review the comparison before any restore decision. Do not restore merely to dismiss a save warning.

Prepare support report gathers diagnostic states and counts, browser details and recent input-check results when available. It excludes handwriting shapes, private writing, recordings, messages, names, email addresses and credentials.

Wait for Ready to review, then read Review support report. Copy report and Download report keep a copy for you. If clipboard access is unavailable, use the device’s copy command on the selected report. Done closes the dialog; nothing is sent automatically.

1. Choose Prepare support report.
2. Read the report when Ready to review appears.
3. Copy report or Download report if you want a copy.
4. Choose Done, keeping any unsaved writing window open.

Where Share beta feedback is available, choose What’s the feedback about? and describe What happened?. A short, specific account is enough: which screen, which action, what you expected and what Red showed instead.

See what you’ll share lets you inspect the note and basic device details. Copy feedback keeps the text. Open email draft opens an available email draft but does not send it. If contact details fail to load, Retry contact details can check again; copied feedback remains a separate way to keep the note.

1. Write the short feedback note without private material.
2. Open See what you’ll share and read it.
3. Choose Copy feedback or, when offered, Open email draft.
4. Review the email draft before choosing Send in your email app.

Include the last action you took, the exact status or error message, whether the reply was uncertain and roughly when it happened. State whether you were online and which device or browser was involved. You do not need to paste the private bit or attach the whole show to explain the control that failed.

For a save problem, keep the original window and use the offered device-copy or kept-writing download before signing out or clearing anything. For an unclear review request, inspect its latest status before submitting again. These steps preserve useful evidence while you describe the problem.
