Chapters and scenes

Summary

Use chapters and scenes to organize a story’s reading order, keep passages manageable, and place branches where they make sense.

Steps

1. Create chapters or scenes in the story editor and give each a clear title that helps you recognize it in the outline.
2. Arrange the linear reading order first; then add choice destinations where an interactive path should split or rejoin.
3. Read the draft in Preview from the beginning and from each important branch to check transitions and context.
4. Save before leaving the editor and rerun validation after changing order, deleting a passage, or moving a destination.

What to expect

• A linear story follows its authored sequence; an interactive story may route readers through only part of the full chapter set.
• Draft writing is manually saved and does not create an unlimited sequence of recoverable copies.
• A submitted new story or revision remains private until Admin review approves it; an already approved version stays public while an update is pending.

Troubleshooting

• If a scene is unreachable, inspect its incoming choices and the Map for a missing or mistyped destination.
• If the reading order looks wrong, check the outline order and start a fresh Preview to rule out an older saved route.
• If validation still reports a route error after correction, include the chapter title and exact message in Creator Support.
