Production.Production is where your project files, or Documents, live. Productions are saved locally, so you aren't working from the cloud. Your NLE is working with locally stored files, as would be the case without having Postlab. Postlab observes changes made to Documents within a Production, and changes are synced to other Team Members through our cloud servers.POSTLAB CLOUD > Teams > (Your Team) > ➕ > Production.PRODUCTION NAMELOCATION - the Folder or Subfolder where this Production will live.DESCRIPTION - add any additional details about your Production.Open production after creating ☑️ - opens the Production once you click Create.Create.PRODUCTIONActivityTasksDriveDOCUMENTSDocument operations are logged under Activity.

If you’re using Postlab Drive, you might be tempted to upload these directly to Drive. If you do, you'll miss out on Postlab's core collaboration features such as remote locking, activity tracking, and versioning.Productions are bundles of files containing your Documents and related activity (Preferences > General > DEFAULT PRODUCTION LOCATION). Productions are downloaded and locally cached on your computer.

Right now, this is only a warning. But if you need more than 8 Documents for your work, we recommend organizing your work into multiple Productions. Here's why.Production is like an 8-passenger car, not a touring bus. 4 people? Comfortable. 5? Still comfortable. With eight people, everyone still fits, and it's still comfortable. But add one more person? They might fit, but it starts becoming uncomfortable. One more? Even less.ProductionsDocumentsProduction, Postlab's saying, "Please don't use this car as a touring bus." If you know you'll need more than 8 Documents for your work, plan ahead, organize work into multiple Productions, and your Productions will stay smooth and drivable.Document, but it doesn't save a complete version each time. It only saves the parts that have changed.Document is reconstructed based on which parts changed and when. To achieve that, a lot of reference points are saved. Over time, many of these become moot. Housekeeping checks each of those references and decides which ones are needed. If it's not needed, it's removed. Then Productions open faster, feeling more responsive.Production for the first time always feels neat and tidy. But like real life, housekeeping can be time-consuming. The more versions there are of a Document, the more references to compare, the longer Housekeeping takes.Production still feels sluggish:Preferences > General > DEFAULT PRODUCTION LOCATION).Production when prompted.
