Textbook Tracker
Textbook Tracker shares many of the same preferences as Alexandria.
| Do you have Textbook Tracker? Keep an eye out for preferences marked -A/TT, which means it is a shared preference between both. This is versus -A and -TT, which means the preferences are separate between the two systems. For example, a preference marked as SITE-TT will affect Textbook Tracker only, at this site. |
