The editor and notebook

How to use the writing editor and the notebook.

The editor is where you write. Open it from the home page or from any exercise. Your work saves automatically as you type.

The notebook

The notebook is your personal library of everything you have written in Inkbreaker: drafts, published pieces, and exercise submissions. Reach it from the main navigation.

Writing modes

The editor has writing modes. The default is general writing. Pro users can switch to specialized modes for screenwriting, poetry, long-form fiction, and worldbuilding. Each mode adjusts the editor's formatting options and slash command menu to fit the conventions of that writing type.

Slash commands

Type / in the editor and a menu appears. The options are relevant to writing, not generic document tools. You will not see code blocks or spreadsheet options while you are writing fiction.

Drafts

Drafts are private until you publish them. You can keep a draft as long as you like, submit it as an exercise, or publish it to the community feed. Publishing does not submit it as an exercise. Those are separate actions.

Organizing your work

Free users can use tags to organize the notebook. Pro users can also create folders and series, and keep version history.
