Series Bible Builder — updated walkthrough
Actual app captures. Prepared fictional example. AI narration. No live generation demonstration.

Start with a saved series
Series Bible Builder now keeps a saved workspace for each series. This walkthrough uses The Glass Archive, a prepared fictional example, to show the current controls. These are real app screens, but the example facts were prepared for teaching, not produced by a live model call. Start by opening Manage series and backups. Enter your series name, then choose New series. Your notes, books, imported sources, and review decisions stay together in this browser.

Choose the book and source
Add or name your books with Manage Books. Before importing a manuscript, check Import into book. This keeps evidence attached to the right installment. Choose File accepts text, Markdown, Word documents, EPUB, and readable PDFs. Scanned pages need text recognition first. Book DNA import uses the manuscript already available there, which may have its own omissions. After import, check the source name and extracted word count rather than assuming every page was readable.

Understand analysis coverage
Choose your writing provider and model, and connect your own key only when you want AI analysis. Provider access and charges depend on your account. Analyze or resume selected sources processes saved text in segments. The progress line shows how much extracted text was analyzed. Open Source coverage by segment to inspect processed and pending sections. Pause after this segment stops between requests. Completed segments are retained, so interrupted analysis can resume. Processing is not the same as approving the resulting facts.

Review the supporting passage
Open Suggestions in the Review menu. Each card names a subject, an attribute, a proposed value, and its supporting quotation. Here the suggestion says Mara carries a brass key on a blue cord. Choose View source to read the highlighted sentence in context. The app checks that a quotation exists in the source. You still decide whether it supports the interpretation. A pronoun, a memory, or another character’s claim can need a closer reading.

Approve only what you trust
Add a review note when a fact needs context. Choose Approve only after checking the evidence, or Dismiss a suggestion you do not want. The Approved canon view now includes our reviewed key detail alongside Mara’s eye color. You can return an approved fact to suggestions. Different approved values are prompts for review, not proof of a continuity error; a character may change over time. Export approved facts gives you a text reference containing the approved material and its citations.

Keep designs separate from facts
The Character Weaver connection is optional. Export approved canon for Character Weaver creates a reference file for that app. In the other direction, import an approved character dossier here and read the preview before adding it. The Add reviewed dossier button creates an editable character card without replacing existing cards. An approved design is still a design. It does not become a manuscript-verified fact just because you imported it.

Compile a useful reference
The chapter buttons organize your blueprint, world, characters, relationships, book arcs, and style sheet. Keep your own notes there and treat AI expansions as editable drafts. Full Bible and Compile All Sections bring the reference together, including the approved source-backed facts. Read the compiled document before sharing it or using it to plan another book. Compilation is an organizational step, not an automatic proof that every draft statement is correct.

Back up before moving devices
Manage series and backups includes Download series backup, recovery versions, and Import backup as a new series. Download a backup before changing browsers, clearing browser data, or moving devices. A text reference is useful for reading; the JSON backup preserves the editable project. Local saves do not automatically synchronize across devices or editions. For your first practice session, import a short excerpt, inspect one quote, approve one fact, and download both the reference and the backup.
