Inclusion rule. All 24 board tools on the register; a tool whose pages pass over this field reads as silent. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.

1What this field covers

This field records whether the board can leave the tool as a file of its own, apart from the finished video. 7 tools describe board files, 1 describes exports shaped for social channels, and 16 are silent.

Silence here is the common case, because most tools on the catalogue expect the board to be consumed inside the product. The tools that describe exports are the ones built for handing a board to a crew, a client or a pitch.
