The overflow menu (⋮), on every screen. State-dependent items are always present when they apply to the current screen, just enabled/disabled - never hidden. Desktop only, each item below shows its keyboard shortcut - Ctrl on Windows/Linux, ⌘ on macOS.
- Open File - pick a
.yatate(or, native only, a loose.ypffolder) from disk and open it. Unpacks into a throwaway working copy behind the scenes - the original file on disk is untouched until you explicitly Save/Save As back to it. - My Projects (native only) - your own curated list of
.yatate/.ypfpaths for quick access, capped at 50. Entries are added and removed only by explicit action (an "Add Current" button in the list, and a per-entry remove) - opening a file never adds it automatically. - Online Library - opens the Project Library in a new tab to browse ready-made document templates. Download one, then use Open File to bring it in - see Customize and Print a Project from the Library for a full walkthrough.
- New - opens the New Yatate screen: give it a name, a canvas size (mm) and
background color, and it creates a blank project (a blank
base.pdfand a stubform.json) and drops you straight into the Overlay Editor. See Project Step-by-Step for what to do from there. - Edit (Input Form/Output Preview only) - opens the Project Editor for the open document.
- Batch (native only, Input Form/Output Preview only) - see Process Batch.
- Save - a brand-new, never-saved document prompts for a location (same as Save
As, but also adopts the result as where Save writes next time); an already-opened
.yatatequietly re-exports to that same file in place; a loose.ypffolder has nothing to save (its files save as you go) and this is disabled. - Save As - always prompts for a location and a filename (pre-filled from the
project's own display name). A
.yatatefile is a ZIP archive containing everything needed to recreate the document - form, layout, scripts,autocomplete.json,base.pdf, and every image/font asset - minus any previously-generated PDFs. See the .yatate package format. Saving here never changes where plain Save writes to. - Settings - see Settings.
- Help - opens this documentation.
- About - app name, version, and platform.
- Quit (desktop only) - closes the app.
Ctrl+Q/⌘Q.
Kiosk deployments: New/Edit/Batch can be hidden or replaced by a direct launch into one document via command-line flags - see Command-Line Launch Options.
