Codex and story continuity

The Codex is the story bible beside your manuscript. It keeps recurring facts organized and makes names easier to recognize while you draft and revise.

Open the entry to add aliases, change its category, write a description, and attach an image.

Use entries while writing

Codex names and aliases can be highlighted in the prose. Select an entry in the sidebar to check its description without leaving the chapter. Sort a category alphabetically, by date created, order of appearance, or usage.

Build the Codex from existing prose

The chapter actions menu includes Detect Characters, Detect World Elements, and Detect Lore. Each tool analyzes the current chapter, presents suggested entries, and lets you choose what to save. Review and edit detected information before adding it.

Optional AI assistance

Use AI Autofill to draft an entry description from your instructions and the book context. When image generation is enabled, Generate AI can create an entry image from a visual prompt. You can always write descriptions or upload images manually.

Common questions

No. Codex entries are reference material. Editing or deleting one does not rewrite prose already in a chapter.

Aliases connect nicknames, titles, shortened names, and alternate spellings to one entry, making reference highlighting and usage tracking more useful.

No. Detection opens a review list. You choose which suggested characters, world elements, or lore entries to save.
