Chapter Notes
Pin connected cards beside the manuscript, glued to the paragraphs they belong to.
Updated
Chapter Notes brings the Mind Map's cards right onto your chapter. Drop a sticky note in the margin and connect it to a specific paragraph — a reminder to fix a name, a query for your future self, a note for a beta reader. The notes stay glued to their paragraphs as the text moves, so they never drift out of context. For work you want to track rather than annotate, use To-dos — it opens beside the notes canvas and keeps the actionable list for the whole book.
- 1Open Chapter Notes from the main toolbar (or press Ctrl N).
- 2Click the + Note button to add a card in the margin.
- 3Drag from a paragraph's edge onto the canvas to create a note linked to it.
- 4Write your note; it stays connected to its paragraph as you edit.
How It Works
- Notes are scoped to the current chapter and sit in the margins around your prose
- Anchor a note to a specific paragraph, or connect notes to each other
- Cards keep their place beside their paragraph as the text grows and shifts
- The same styling as Mind Map — colours, titles, and connection lines
- Toggle the notes layer off to return to a clean page any time
- Chapter Notes works in Single chapter and Continuous manuscript; Split editor disables it and closes the notes canvas if it is already open
Chapter Notes is ideal for a revision pass — leave contextual cards beside the prose, then turn the ones that are actually work into cards in To-dos and go through the list without breaking your flow.
