Flare Online Window Pane

The Flare Online window pane (View > Flare Online) is used to bind a project to and perform other Flare Online-related tasks while you are working in Flare Desktop. See MadCap Flare Online and Flare Desktop.

What You Can Do in This Window Pane

Following are the primary tasks that you can perform in the Flare Online window pane:

Log In and Log Out If you have an account in Flare Online, you are able to log in and out of your account from Flare Desktop. When you are logged in, you are able to access project properties, upload (bind) and import projects (via Git), and push project changes to the cloud. See Logging In and Out of Flare Online in Flare Desktop.
Uploading (Binding) Projects You can upload a project to Flare Online from Flare Desktop. A copy of the project files will therefore reside in the cloud via Flare Online, and you will be able to keep the local and cloud versions of the project synchronized using integrated source control. You will also be able to generate and publish Flare targets using Flare Online. See Binding a Project to MadCap Flare Online.
Importing Projects If another user uploads a project locally from Flare Desktop to your MadCap Flare Online license and you do not yet have that project on your computer, you can import it. See Importing Projects From Flare Online.
Pushing Content If you are working in a dual-bound model (see Dual-Bound Projects), you will author your content in Flare Desktop and then use your third-party source control provider to synchronize your files with those from other writers. After this, you can use Flare Desktop to push those changes to Flare Online. See Pushing in a Dual-Bound Model.

You can also use this button to push changes in a single-bound model, although you more likely will use the Source Control ribbon. See Committing and Synchronizing (Pull, Push) in a Single-Bound Model.
Viewing Project Properties If you have access to a project in Flare Online (i.e., you have been added to the project), you can view its properties in the Flare Online window pane. This lets you see relevant information about the project, such as when it was added to Flare Online, the amount of space it is using in Flare Online, and the number of targets and builds. See Viewing Project Properties.
Removing Bindings If you no longer need your project to be bound to Flare Online, you can remove its binding. Removing the binding from a project does not remove that project from Flare Online; instead, it simply removes the link between Flare Online and your local project. The project will still be available locally, but you will no longer be able to upload (push) changes from your local project to the cloned project in Flare Online. See Removing Bindings From Projects in Flare Online.
