The creation kit based instructions for generating an SEQ file didn't work for me (no file create) but TES5Edit did, so included it as an option.

+*'''ID:''' Mandatory. The quest ID as it will appear in the object window.
 *'''Quest Name:''' The name of the quest as it will appear in the player's quest list.
 ** Quests of Type "Miscellaneous" will never display their quest name and so don't need one.
 ** Quests which have no objectives also will never display their quest name anywhere and don't need a Quest Name.
-*'''Priority:''' Dialogue is assigned by priority. The dialogue for higher priority quests will take precedence over the dialogue of lower priority quests, in cases where the dialogue "stacks" (shared topic types, or blocking/exclusive branches).
+*'''Priority:''' Dialogue is assigned by priority. The dialogue for higher priority quests will take precedence over the dialogue of lower priority quests, in cases where the dialogue "stacks" (shared topic types, or blocking/exclusive branches). Aliases are also affected by priority. A quest with low priority will give way to another quest's aliases with higher priority.
 *'''Event:''' Any quest which specifies an Event can only be started by the [[:Category:Story Manager|Story Manager]] ("Start Game Enabled" will be greyed out). Quests which have no Event are started "manually", by calling [[Start_-_Quest|Start]], [[SetCurrentStageID_-_Quest|SetStage]], or [[SetObjectiveDisplayed_-_Quest|SetObjectiveDisplayed]].
-*'''Start Game Enabled:''' This option is only available for quests with no triggering Event. If this box is checked, the quest starts running at the beginning of the game. Otherwise, it will not start running until the [[Start_-_Quest|Start]], [[SetCurrentStageID_-_Quest|SetStage]], or [[SetObjectiveDisplayed_-_Quest|SetObjectiveDisplayed]] commands are used. Starts Enabled quests automatically consider all their aliases to be "Allow Reserved".

-*'''Run Once:''' n/a
+**Start Game Enabled quests automatically grey out the option for their aliases to "Allow Reserved." However, for Start Game Enabled quests added to a pre-existing save, this may still need to be ticked to avoid problems. To set this flag on a Start Game Enabled quest alias, highlight the alias's line in the alias list window and press CTRL-SHIFT-R to tick the flag.
-*'''Warn on alias fill failure:'''n/a
+{{WarningBox|'''Important!''' As of 1.7 the game uses SEQ files in order to track ''Start-Game Enabled'' quests you've added, and possibly ones you've altered. These files are needed for your dialogue and scenes to work properly. You may generate them using [[TES5Edit Documentation#Creating Start-Game Enabled Quest (SEQ) Files|TES5Edit]] or the [http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1417941-dialoguequest-bug-solution/page__p__21672989#entry21672989 CreationKit].}}
+*'''Run Once:''' Prevents the Quest from being reset when it starts. If a "Start Game Enabled" quest is not also flagged to "Run Once", its [[OnInit]] event will fire twice.
+**For clarity, all forms of resetting including [[Reset_-_Quest|Reset()]] will not work when this is checked.
+*'''Warn on alias fill failure:''' Not used?
 *'''Allow Repeated Stages:''' If this box is checked, a journal entry will be displayed (and quest stage results run) every time [[SetCurrentStageID_-_Quest|SetStage]] is called for a particular stage number. Otherwise, [[SetCurrentStageID_-_Quest|SetStage]] has no effect after it is called the first time for any stage on a running quest.
 *'''Type:''' This dropdown determines what icon is displayed next to the quest in the player's quest list. Also, quests tagged to the Miscellaneous type will appear in the Miscellaneous category, meaning only their objectives will be displayed (no quest name or summary text).
 *'''Recompile All Papyrus Scripts:''' All scripts associated with this quest (including scripts on infos, scenes, and packages) are recompiled. This is a useful debugging tool.
 *'''Export Quest Dialogue:''' Exports all the quest's dialogue to a file.
-*'''Export Scene Dialogue:''' Brings up a list of all the voice types which have scene dialogue for this quest. Selecting that voice type will export a scene script customized for that voice type. (See [[Export Scene Scripts]])
+**The generated .txt file can be found in the main Skyrim folder.

 *'''Calculate Voice Assets:''' Evaluates (using the same process as the export) how many actual audio files are used by the quest. If this is larger than the Lines of Dialogue field, it means that some lines can be said by multiple voice types. If it is smaller, it means that some lines cannot be said by any voice types.
 *'''[[:Category:Conditions|Quest Conditions]]:''' Any conditions here are considered to apply to all dialogue in the quest. The quest conditions are checked first; only if those are true are the conditions on the infos evaluated.
 *'''Text Display Globals:''' Any [[Globals|Global Variables]] that you want to use in [[Text_Replacement|text replacement]] in this quest need to be added to this list.
