Writing help
Write a passage, then check its save status. “Cloud saved” means Novel Pillar acknowledged that version. Keep the original tab open whenever writing is pending.
A guest draft is tied to this browser and limited to 200 cloud-saved words. Create an account to keep writing across devices. Excess pasted or composed text stays on this device until an account save confirms it.
Chapter
A chapter holds one part of your manuscript. You can rename it and arrange it within a book.
Write a few sentences to begin.
Cloud saved
Novel Pillar has acknowledged this version on its server. Pending text is still waiting for that acknowledgement.
Keep writing, or return to this draft later.
Pending on this device
This text has not reached the server yet. Keep this tab open until Cloud saved appears, or deliberately copy or export your pending text.
Check your connection and retry saving.
References
Keep people, places and other story details beside your manuscript. Review extracted details before treating them as established facts.
Open a reference to check its source passage.
Confirmed story facts
These are details you have explicitly confirmed for your book. Automated suggestions do not become confirmed facts by themselves.
Check the cited passage before confirming a detail.
Knowledge graph
This map connects story details mentioned together in your writing. A connection shows an association, not proof of a plot relationship.
Select a detail to inspect the supporting chapters.
Chapter board
Move chapters through your writing and review stages. Each book can use its own workflow.
Choose a stage for a chapter.
Stage
A stage names where a chapter is in your workflow, such as Draft or Ready for review. You can customize up to seven stages.
Rename or arrange the stages to fit your process.
Saved version
A saved version is an earlier acknowledged state of your writing. Restoring it is a deliberate change to your current draft.
Compare the writing before restoring it.
Google Drive snapshot
A snapshot is a separate backup of an acknowledged book version. It does not update as you type, and consent alone does not mean a backup was saved.
Create a snapshot and wait for verified delivery.
AI review
Saved reports stay available for review. Findings may be wrong. Review each suggestion before applying it. New author reviews will be offered only through a paid review flow, with the named provider, selected writing, retention limits and maximum price shown for approval. Paid reviews are not available right now.
Read or export a saved report, or return to your chapter.
Paid cloud reviews are still being prepared and cannot be purchased in this release.
If a save fails, keep your draft open, check the connection and retry. Downloading pending writing is an explicit action you can take from its original tab.
