# Overview

The Books section shows the major story containers inside the project. A project might hold one standalone novel, several books in a series, or planned instalments that share characters, locations, assets and continuity.

# When Should I Use This?

Use this section when you need to check whether the project has the right book structure before planning chapters and scenes in detail.

# How To Use It

Open a book to review its chapters, edit a book when its number or purpose changes, or add a new book when the project grows into another instalment.

# Example

A mystery series may keep Books 1, 2 and 3 in one project so a clue or family secret can stay connected across all volumes.

# Writer Tip

Do not split related books into separate projects unless they truly have no shared continuity.

# Common Mistakes

- Creating a new project for every book in a connected series.
- Leaving books out of order after restructuring.
- Using book descriptions as marketing copy rather than planning notes.
