+===== Load & Save =====
+The dialogue system supports loading and storing conversations to file (*.dia;*.dlg).
+The AssetsManager also supports this file format, so you can push those files to your game package.
+<file pascal>
+FDialogueSys := TGorillaDialogueSystem.Create(Self);
+FDialogueSys.LoadFromFile('MyDialogues.dia');
+</file>
+To store your dialogue settings, simply call SaveToFile or SaveToStream.
+<file pascal>
+FDialogueSys.SaveToFile('MyDialogues.dia');
+</file>
