-# What is `testhost`
-Host `testhost` was created to fake running host for testing of publisher.
-
-Does not have any proper launch mechanism at the moment. There is python script `./run_publish.py` which will show publisher window. The script requires to set few variables to run. Execution will register host `testhost`, register global publish plugins and register creator and publish plugins from `./plugins`.
-
-## Data
-Created instances and context data are stored into json files inside `./api` folder. Can be easily modified to save them to a different place.
-
-## Plugins
-Test host has few plugins to be able test publishing.
-
-### Creators
-They are just example plugins using functions from `api` to create/remove/update data. One of them is auto creator which means that is triggered on each reset of create context. Others are manual creators both creating the same family.
-
-### Publishers
-Collectors are example plugin to use `get_attribute_defs` to define attributes for specific families or for context. Validators are to test `PublishValidationError`.

+### Anatomy reference keys
+
+Anatomy templates have the ability to use "referenced keys". Best example is `path` in publish or work templates which just contains references to `folder` and `file` (`{@folder}/{@file}`). Any changes in folder or file template are propagated to the path template. The another example is simplification of version and frame formatting with paddings. You can notice that keys `{@version}` or `{@frame}` are used in default templates. They are referencing `Anatomy` -> `Templates` -> `Version` or `Frame` which handle version and frame formatting with padding.
+
+So if you set `project_anatomy/templates/defaults/version_padding` to `5` the `{@version}` key will be transformed to `v{version:0>5}` automatically and version number in paths will have 5 numbers -> `v00001`.
+
+### Optional keys
+
+In some cases of template formatting not all keys are available and should be just ignored. For example `{frame}` should be available only for sequences but we have single publish template. To handle these cases it is possible to use special characters to mark segment of template which should be ignored, if it can't be filled because of missing keys. To mark these segments use `<` and `>`.
+.
+Template `{project[code]}_{asset}_{subset}<_{output}><.{@frame}>.{ext}` can handle all 4 possible situations when `output` and `frame` keys are available or not. The optional segments can contain additional text, like in the example dot (`.`) for frame and underscore (`_`) for output, those are also ignored if the keys are not available. Optional segments without formatting keys are kept untouched: `<br/>` -> stays as `<br/>`. It is possible to nest optional segments inside optional segments `<{asset}<.{@frame}><br/>>` which may result in empty string if `asset` key is not available.
 
 ## Attributes
 
+Project attributes are used as default values for new assets created under project, except `Applications` and `Active project` which are project specific. Values of attributes that are **not** project specific are always used from assets. So if `tools` are not loading as expected it is because the assets have different values.
+
+![anatomy_attributes](assets/settings/anatomy_attributes.png)
+
+**Most of attributes don't need detailed explanation.**
+
+| Attribute | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `Applications` | List of applications that can be used in the project. At the moment used only as a possible filter of applications. |
+| `Tools` | List of application tools. This value can be overridden per asset. |
+| `Active project` | Project won't be visible in tools if enabled.<br/> - To revert check `Show Inactive projects` checkbox in project settings. |
 
 
 ## Task Types
 
-Current state of default Task descriptors.
+Available task types on a project. Each task on an asset is referencing a task type on the project which allows access to additional task type attributes. At this moment only `short_name` is available (can be used in templates as `{task[short_name]}`).

+All published instances that will replace the place holder must contain unique input and output nodes in case they will not be imported as a single node.

+### Build Workfile from template
+This tool imports the template used and replaces the existed PlaceHolders with the corresponding published objects (which can contain Place Holders too). In case there is no published items with the description given, the place holder will remain in the node graph.
+

+
+### Update Workfile
+This tool can be used to check if some instances were published after the last build, so they will be imported.
+
+![Create menu](assets/nuke_updateWorkfile.png)
