Book Writing Tool (BWT) application version 1.06 now includes a new public-facing page for sharing your storylines.
Publishing a Storyline
Publishing a storyline makes it available for public viewing. This feature is only relevant for your root storyline.
Here’s how to publish a storyline:
- Navigate to the Storyline Module in the BWT application.
- On the left, you’ll see a list of your top-level storylines. Select the one you want to publish by clicking its card.
- On the selected card, click the “Publish Storyline” button.
- A form will appear. Enter a public title for your storyline and click “Submit.”
- A unique code will be generated, which serves as the public reference for accessing your storyline.
Once published, the “Publish Storyline” button is replaced with two new options:
- “Explore” button: Clicking this will open the public page for your storyline.
- “Copy Link” button: This will copy the public link URL to your clipboard, making it easy to share.
Managing and Sharing Your Public Storyline
You can manage your public storyline from the toolbar in the middle column of the Storyline Module. To see the toolbar, expand the top-level storyline card.
- Edit or Delete: The toolbar provides options to edit or delete the public code.
- Go to Public Page: Click this button to open the public page. From there, you can copy the URL to share with others.
