Back to manual- The New Project page is meant to get you into a real workspace quickly with just a title, shape, and optional template.
- Treat the New Project page as a starting shape chooser, not a long intake form. A working title, project shape, and optional template are enough to begin.
- Story projects are for chapter-and-scene drafting, Freeform keeps idea capture loose, and Series Tracker is for broader multi-book planning.
- The goal is to reduce startup friction so the project opens with real workspace structure instead of making you answer everything up front.
