Manual Topic
Back to manual- Freeform is the lighter project mode for notes, worldbuilding, and emerging structure before the project needs chapters and scenes.
- Freeform projects foreground notes, characters, locations, items, plots, and synopsis so you can capture material without forcing a manuscript shape too early.
- This mode is meant for flexible organization rather than chapter-by-chapter drafting, so the absence of a timeline and chapter list is intentional.
- When the project is ready to become a story, convert it from the dashboard so the change is deliberate and the existing records stay attached.
