Start new projects from a template, track where each document stands, and see, reorder, and read a whole folder at a glance.

Start a new project from a ready-made structure instead of a blank workspace.

Open Templates from your dashboard, next to Import.
Choose from eleven Scribeist templates: Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery & Thriller, Romance, Short Stories, Non-fiction, Research & Thesis, Blog, Notes & Journal, Newsletter, and Articles & Essays.
Templates give you structure and guidance, not example stories. Placeholder documents tell you what to write and what to rename.
Save any workspace as your own template from the ⋮ menu → Save as template. Choose whether to include your writing, canvases, research, timelines, Mythos entries, and settings, and pick a cover.
New workspaces take their name, cover, and description from the template.

Mark where each document is in your process, from Idea to Done.

Right-click a document in the sidebar and choose Status.
Rename, recolor, reorder, add, or remove statuses for each workspace under Workspace Settings → General.
Export only what's ready: on the Formatting & preview screen, choose which statuses to export.

Click any folder to see everything inside it as cards, in the same order as your sidebar.

Each card shows a synopsis, its status, and its word count.
Drag cards to reorder them. The sidebar updates to match.
Click Read to read the whole folder straight through in reading mode, in any workspace.
Add a summary for the folder itself under its title.
On Hobby and Pro plans, let AI write missing synopses from each document, or summarize the whole folder, including folders inside it.
