New ReleaseImprovementsFixes

A New Library and a Smoother Writing Flow

A calmer workspace library, easier project setup, more personal covers, and thoughtful improvements across writing, chat, and planning.

A Calmer Home for Your Work

The workspace library has been redesigned to keep the focus on your projects.

  • Switch between grid and list views.
  • Move a workspace or folder through a simple folder tree. Changes now appear straight away, so it is always clear where your work went.

Covers That Feel More Personal

Workspace covers now have more ways to match the project inside them.

  • Choose from a set of cover colours and familiar cover designs.
  • You can now update the workspace cover from your library instead of just within the workspace settings
  • Change the cover design without losing the image you selected.
  • See the same image cover consistently in your library and Workspace Settings.
  • Choosing a workspace design has been removed from the creation flow in order to speed up creation. Instead it can be done from the 3 dot menu while hovering over a workspace in the library.

A Clearer AI Chat

  • The fixed 50-chat limit has been removed on all plans.
  • AI summaries for documents have been moved to their own area for adding them as context in the AI chat

Jump Between Headings

Documents with headings now have a slim navigation rail beside the editor. It follows your current section as you write, shows each heading when you hover over it, and lets you jump directly to any section with one click.

Heading navigation can be turned on or off from Workspace Settings.

Lower Credit Use for AI Features

Several AI features now use fewer credits, helping your monthly allowance go further. Credit use can still vary depending on the feature, the selected model, and how much material is included.

Footnotes and Fonts for Selected Text

Documents now support numbered footnotes.

  • Add a footnote from the editor or with the /footnote command.
  • Select a footnote number to edit or remove its note.
  • Footnote numbers update as your document changes.
  • Include footnotes in Word, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, and plain-text exports.

Choosing a font has been removed from the workspace creation flow and now works similar to other editors where you can choose the font in the editor itself. Allowing for text to have different fonts throughout the editor.

Better Timeline Ordering

Dated events now stay in chronological order, including events that use a story calendar. Undated events continue to follow the order you choose.
