TRY ONE REVISION
A later discovery. An earlier scene.
Move the day a character learns a secret. See what needs another look. Fictional AI-created sample; proposed workflow.

01 / READY TO REVIEW
What depends on this?
Run the sample check to inspect a scene that uses Nera’s knowledge.
“On the third day, Nera entered the code she knew.”

THE DECISION RECORD
Approval stays with you.
No decision recorded. Working suggestions do not replace approved canon.
Next-scene context
Approved v3: Nera knows the code from day 2.
Who supplied the code: unknown. Published v2 stays unchanged; a release review is a separate step.
This deterministic example illustrates a future workflow, not a live manuscript scan. It makes no claim to find every dependency.
Catch the consequences.
Follow a changed detail to the scenes that depend on it.
Protect the reveal.
Keep what a character knows separate from what you know.
Keep your contribution visible.
Connect human writing, AI assistance and author revisions to the passages they shaped.
YOUR WORK HAS A HISTORY
Keep the record
behind the words.
The proposed creative-provenance record connects passages, source versions, author-written text, AI-assisted material and subsequent human revisions. Preserve what you contributed, what you changed and what you approved.
Build a clearer account of your creative process for editorial conversations and, where relevant, copyright-registration preparation.
A record supports explanation. It does not certify authorship, guarantee copyright eligibility or replace legal review. Imported history is identified as reported, not independently verified.
ILLUSTRATIVE RECORD · PROPOSED FEATURE

Especially useful for novels in revision and series with a growing world. Invitations will be sent as the beta is ready; signing up doesn’t create an account or guarantee access.
