Export and re-import
in progress

Export and re-import (for instance, to create a new novel from existing material in a former novel) in Markdown and Word is faulty. When re-importing a novel into NC from a previous export, the hierarchy of Novel / Act / Chapter / Scenes is changed (without tweaking the import file): the Scenes are turned into Chapters, and the Scenes are then copied inside, which amounts to many chapters with just one scene in each + a blank scene.

Maybe just have a duplicate option instead?

Balanced Sloth That would solve a lot, no... A LOT OF OUR ISSUES when making a new novel from current material. We can just have a button of "DELETE OUTLINE" to work on the new prose.

I found an error with the way act titles are handled during import - fix will be part of the next release.
This won't be a 1:1 re-import though, as potential scene subtitles are not picked up properly yet.

spaceemotion will this be only a text import, I.e a prose one, and not allowing codex? or will this be a full export import?

spaceemotion Can you support the Json import mode with a specific and certain grammar? I want import a book but failed because some of it has weird style in markdown.

Is that true? Can you provide guidance on how to properly re-import?
