The Overview turns saved project information into progress, activity and worldbuilding summaries.
- Open a project and select Overview.
- Use Continue writing to return to the manuscript, or Project settings to edit the workspace.
- Switch between the standard overview and Insights where available.
- Select a quick-link card such as Outline, Characters, Atlas, Lore, Timeline & History or Ideas.
- Select a listed scene or item to open it when the card supports navigation.
How the summaries are calculated
The main view combines writing progress, recent activity, a goal streak, manuscript shape and worldbuilding totals. Campaign projects replace word-oriented progress with campaign and session measures where appropriate.
Insights interprets saved records rather than judging the quality of the work:
- Readability estimates sentence and syllable patterns and can be distorted by dialogue, invented names or script-like text.
- Scene health groups scenes by length to reveal empty, unusually short or unusually long items.
- Draft balance compares words across the top-level structure.
- Worldbuilding coverage looks for saved names, keywords and explicit links.
- Character focus counts words in scenes where a character’s saved name or keywords appear.
Activity and streak figures depend on recorded scene history. Imported text or work created before history was recorded may produce sparse charts. Treat Overview as a navigation and pattern-finding tool, not an assessment score.
