			=== Frequently Asked Questions ===
			* '''Q.''' Why isn't my route displayed in the upload menu?
			* '''A.''' In order to be uploaded to the Download Station routes and sessions must have been created with a valid user ID. If your route was created before you entered your Planet Auran account you may need to re-save it. Open the session in Surveyor and use the 'Save As' option in the main menu.

			* '''Q.''' I want to upload a new version of my session but only own Trainz iPad or Trainz Android, what do I do?
			* '''A.''' Creating new versions of routes and sessions is currently only possible with Content Manager on the desktop versions of Trainz. You can create a new session for upload by using 'Save As' within Surveyor, but make sure you clearly rename it (e.g. "My Session V2") and note in the description that it's an updated version.

			* '''Q.''' I uploaded my session but never got an email to say whether it was accepted, what happened?
			* '''A.''' Check your spam/junk folders and add "noreply@n3vgames.com" to any safe lists in your email settings. Also make sure you're email address is correct in your Planet Auran profile settings [https://www.auran.com/planetauran/edit_admin.php here].
