Notes

Notes are free-form rich-text documents — the place for research, planning, brainstorming, and anything that isn’t the manuscript itself.

Notes vs. manuscripts

Both use the same editor, but they serve different purposes:

	Manuscript	Notes
Purpose	The actual book	Research, plans, ideas
Included in book export	Yes	No (exportable separately)
Counts toward writing goals	Yes	No
Page links (@-mentions, embeds)	—	Yes

Creating a note

1. In the sidebar, click ＋ (or right-click a folder) and choose Notes.
2. Name it and start writing — everything from the manuscript editor works here too: formatting, blocks, slash commands, images.

What makes notes special

• Page links — type @ to link to any character, location, manuscript, or other item in your project. See Page Links.
• Page embeds — insert a full-width card linking to another page via the / menu.
• Drag-and-drop linking — drag any item from the sidebar into a note to drop in a link card.
• Cover image — give a note a cover for easy recognition.

Saving and exporting

• Notes auto-save as you type — no Save button.
• Export any note to PDF or Markdown from its action menu in the sidebar.
