Find help and track your request.

The sticky navigation groups your tools across the top of the workspace. Choose Create for Library and Canon, Editing for manuscript tools, and Illustration, Publish, Marketing, Project, Account or Support for those areas. On a narrow screen, open Menu first. Use Tab to reach controls, Enter or Space to open a group, and Escape to close it. Moving between tools does not change the active book. Question-mark help works with hover, keyboard focus or a tap; errors, costs and required approvals stay on the page.

In Manuscript, choose the Editor tab, then open Comments, Tracked changes, Version history or Review workflow. These panels do not block writing. Drag the grip to move a panel, use its arrow keys, or choose Left, Center or Right from Position. Close or Escape returns to the editor without discarding the tool draft. On small screens the panel fits the available viewport. Comments and replies follow the book owner’s Professional sharing allowance and your assigned role. Save manuscript changes before applying tracked suggestions or restoring a revision; the app checks for conflicting edits. Version history remains available on every plan. A review checklist is a reminder, not an automatic approval or complete professional edit.

In Project management, choose Schedule to view saved milestones, tasks and subtasks on a calendar Gantt chart. Add planned start and completion dates, a current book-member assignee, status, progress and dependencies. Record actual completion separately; an overdue planned date is not an actual finish. Select an entry to edit its details. Use Today, Project start, previous/next range and zoom to explore dates, or Accessible table for all dates and dependency names without timeline clipping. Undated work is kept, not assigned invented dates. Dependencies describe finish-to-start sequencing and are checked for cycles; dates are not automatically rescheduled. Existing automated chapter-production units remain separate until you deliberately link them to a project entry.

Choose established visual traits from the character fields or select Custom to preserve an exact manuscript or scanner detail. A saved custom value is never silently converted to a preset. Blank means unknown, not absent. Silhouette measurements and selected shapes remain authoritative when that geometry mode is used. In Relationships, both selectors use Character Canon entries from the selected book. Family, personal, professional, narrative and authority connections are available, along with Custom. Read the connection in order: first character, relationship, related character. Reciprocal relationships are not created automatically. Use context for changes over time and keep earlier story events intact. Correct the named input checks before requesting paid model planning.

Choose Create book for a guided project, or Upload document in Library for an existing DOCX, EPUB, or TXT manuscript. Every project must declare fiction, nonfiction, or children’s picture book so its structure, continuity, research, and illustration checks fit the work. The manuscript editor also supports manual writing without generation.

Check the saved result or recovery status first. Do not repeat a paid request while its outcome is uncertain. Use the available recovery action; start a new request only when the app confirms this is appropriate. If you cannot continue, report the page, approximate time and visible error. Choose the affected book without copying manuscript text.

Your plan pays for the BookSemantic workspace; paid AI use is separate. Open Plans and usage to see available AI credits, recent activity and top-up options. Review the displayed cost before requesting paid work. If a completed payment or credit adjustment is missing, send a Billing request with the transaction date and amount, never full card details.

The editor stores offline recovery data and queues saves when the connection drops. Section history and manuscript snapshots provide server-side restore points. When a conflict is detected, preserve and compare both versions; do not clear browser storage until the draft is safely restored.

Choose the intended edition in Publishing package and read the named checks in its report. Correct the findings, prepare a new candidate and review the actual files. Native press preparation provides separate interior and full-wrap PDFs with restricted checks targeting PDF/X-1a:2001, without an external application. Use a printer-supplied or approved output condition when required. Passing checks is not independent certification or guaranteed acceptance. Complete the destination preview and a physical print proof; inspect EPUB navigation and reading order separately.

Step 1: In Canon, review and correct the character, object or location geometry, then approve its required views. Step 2: Review illustrated baselines for appearance and continuity. Keep intentional story changes connected to the original reference. Step 3: In Illustrator, compose and separately review the chapter image before placement. References guide the result; they do not remove the need to review final artwork.

Use Privacy complaint for a concern about personal-data handling and Security report for suspected account compromise or a vulnerability. Do not paste passwords, API keys, payment-card numbers, or unnecessary manuscript content. Privacy complaints are acknowledged within 30 days; urgent risk is prioritized without promising an instant live response.

Confirm you are online and keep any unsaved writing safe before refreshing. Try a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari release with script and storage permissions enabled for BookSemantic. Record the page, time, action and visible error. Check saved results before repeating a payment or generation request. If the outcome remains uncertain, contact support.
