How worksheets are saved as part of your book

Worksheets are saved directly to your book and become part of its long-term reference material. Unlike chapters, worksheets do not have drafts or autosave. A worksheet is only saved when you explicitly click Save.

This is intentional. Worksheets feed directly into your book’s reference data, which is used by platform tools during analysis and consistency checks. Automatically saving partial or unfinished entries could introduce incorrect, speculative, or unwanted information into the book’s foundation. Requiring a manual save ensures that only information you have reviewed and confirmed becomes part of the book.

When you save a worksheet, all entered information is stored with the book it belongs to. This information persists across sessions and is available whenever you return to the book, subject to your role and the book’s permissions.

Because worksheets are tied to the book rather than a specific chapter, their content is meant to remain relevant across multiple chapters. Details entered into worksheets can influence how the platform interprets your writing during analysis and consistency checks, especially when those details describe characters, timelines, settings, or rules of the world.

Saving a worksheet updates the book’s internal reference state. Future submissions, reports, and checks use the most recently saved worksheet information. Previously submitted chapters are not rewritten or altered automatically, but new analysis reflects the updated worksheet content.

In personal books, worksheet changes take effect immediately and only impact your own work. You are free to revise worksheets at any time, even after chapters have been written or submitted.

In community and private group books, worksheet access depends on how the book is configured. Some contributors may be allowed to edit worksheets, while others may only view them. Regardless of role, saved worksheets act as shared reference material for anyone with access, helping keep collaborative work aligned.

Worksheets remain attached to the book even if chapters are revised, declined, or cloned. If a book is cloned, worksheet content up to the cloning point is carried forward into the new community book, preserving reference material alongside credited chapters.

Worksheets are designed to be deliberate. Saving them is a conscious choice that ensures the information guiding your book is accurate, intentional, and ready to be relied on.
