MANUSCRIPTS IS NOW IN OPEN BETA
The following is the current workflow for Manuscripts after being tweaked a bit from the initial release.
- You can no longer publish a Manuscript…
- But you can publish Chapters (folders)
- A manuscript is published once the first chapter is set to “published“.
- Once a chapter or a manuscript is published, everyone who is following YOU will get a notification that a new chapter or manuscript has been published.
- When someone likes a part of your manuscript, you’ll get a notification.
- Follow the owner of a Manuscript from the Manuscript page.
—–
NOTE 1: You are no longer able to publish a “text” (scene). Instead, you will have to put it into a folder (chapter) and publish that.
NOTE 2: This WILL affect the already published manuscripts (you will have to publish your chapters individually).
Clarification: This change does not affect privacy (public/private state). It is the equivalent of the Draft/Published for articles.
…if you are looking for something really cool to listen to and probably the most awesome person that you MUST be following!

Articles Interface III
Near the end of the month, Dimitris deployed a major update. Say goodbye to the old cluttered articles interface and discover…
- Lighter simples, cleaner interface
- Autosave
- New Focus mode
- Same page Preview
- Same page Article search and Preview
- Referenced in (find where the article is referenced in other articles)
- SO MUCH more and x16 Faster!
If you haven’t since the update, make sure you have done a hard refresh on your browser so both CSS and JS files will update.
ARTICLE TABLE OF CONTENTS Tag
- This tag automatically scans your article, identifying all headers
- It creates an indented list of the headers.
- Clicking on the header will instantly scroll you down to that header.
KNOWN ISSUES
This will not work nicely if you ALSO have the following:
- [toc]
- [articleblock]
- Relations (character/organization)
- Org charts
It will work, but it will also list the header/categories of the Global ToC so try to refrain from using both. You won‘t need it so much anyway now that you have the static navigation.
This is still in BETA, so if you find any issues please let Dimitris know at the #development-discussion channel in the Discord!
