Write

Write or paste a document in the app, keep it as a private draft, check it against canon, and save it to the story as a new version.

Where Home → Write a document or New document, Library → Write a document, or a document’s Edit

The Write page: a title, kind buttons, the text of a scene, and the bar with Dictate, Check continuity, Focus and Save to story.

What you see

  1. Title and kindThe document’s title and its kind: Scene, Lore, Character, Location, Quest, Dialogue or Other.
  2. TextYour scene. A blank line starts a new passage; a line starting with # is a heading.
  3. Continuity checkAppears after a check: findings against accepted canon with their sources, Rule checks from the rule engine, and a Suggested fix · not applied for each problem.
  4. BarWord count and draft status, then Dictate, Research this (with words selected), Check continuity, Ask, Focus, Discard draft and Save to story.
  5. Ask columnOn wide screens, a chat beside the text for canon questions and research while you write.

Write a new document

  1. Press Write a document in the Library or New document on Home.
  2. Type a title, pick a kind and write or paste the text.
  3. Keep writing: the draft saves as you type, and only you can see it.
  4. Press Save to story: it becomes a read-only document and the AI proposes candidate facts for Review.

Edit a saved document

  1. Open the document and press Edit.
  2. Change the text; the note at the top says which version saving will make.
  3. Press the save button to save it as the next version; the old version stays as it was and canon citing it is flagged to re-check.
  4. If someone saved a newer version meanwhile, use See what changed, start over from the latest, or save anyway.

Check a draft against canon

  1. Select some words, or select nothing to check the whole draft.
  2. Press Check continuity (it reads Check selection with words selected).
  3. Read each finding with the canon it cites, and the suggested fix.
  4. Change your text yourself; the check never edits it.

Dictate and write without distractions

  1. Press Dictate, speak, then press Stop: the words are typed in at the cursor.
  2. Press Focus (Ctrl Shift F) to show only the text, with a word count for the session.
  3. Turn on Typewriter to keep the line you’re typing near the middle.
  4. Press Exit or Esc to leave focus mode.

Good to know

  • Drafts are private and listed under Your drafts on Home. Discard draft throws one away for good.
  • A continuity check of a draft is private to you, like the draft.
  • Research this opens Ask in Research mode with your selected words in the question; the draft isn’t a source yet, so they go in as a quote, not a citation.
  • Recording transcripts can’t be edited; transcribe the audio again instead.
  • Ctrl S saves the draft right away. See Keyboard shortcuts.
