Hi, I am a subscriber to this great product. This isn't a bug in itself but I have completed a novel in Novelcrafter but I wanted to clone it so that I can continue editing it in Novelcrafter. However, the only option I have is to export it to Word file. The issue is that once I import it back as a new novel, the codex is missing so that it is not a real clone. Do you know how I can clone the existing novel in novel crafter itself?

Just wish their was a native mobile application

As a user, I would like to have the option to open a novel directly to the last scene I was working in. This could be a setting that a user can select or deselect. So, when clicking on a novel, the setting could be either to open into the "plan" workspace or open in "write" in the last scene edited. It could either be a system-wide setting or a novel-by-novel setting. Perhaps, if opening from the full list, it opens into Plan. If clicking a novel from the "Continue where you left off" section, it would open to the last scene edited.

Can we have the option in the character sheet to include the different relations of the characters to each other? Like: Brother, Mother, Father, Cousin, Best Friend, Girlfriend,.... So the AI knows how the characters' relations are. And with that have a family tree function? Overview of characters and how they relate in a chart. If it makes little sense, please delete the feature request :D

We should be able to copy an entire novel or codex to any new book, not just within a series. This would be incredibly helpful for writers who have extensive codex entries (I have over 50 for Style Guide Elements alone) and multiple novels to develop. As it stands, I can't copy elements from one novel to another, which is becoming a real challenge. Each new novel, adds to, and refines the codex, making it more advanced. It seems odd that one of NC's biggest selling points - the codex - is so limited in this way. While NC is great overall, I'm hesitant to start new novels until the codex becomes more flexible. I'd much rather spend my time writing and being creative instead of copy-pasting or duplicating effort. Can we make this happen?

A search-and-REPLACE option in Codex so we can change the names of characters / objects / locations universally across multiple entries with one click. It would save a lot of time instead of manually updating each separate Codex entry.

Split the edit window into two pieces so both are visible on the screen at the same time. This is similar to the two-edit window request, or new edit window. But I find the split screen works great for coding and would likely do so for editing as well. It would allow you to have the bit of text you're editing visible and also reference sections or outline notes from somewhere else in the document visible at the same time, without having to manage windows or require a lot more display real-estate.

Also a search bar to look up specific words that aren't mentioned in Codex entries. Would be a godsend for editing. 😩🙏

This would assist to toggle entries in and out of a current project, but keep all entries together in one place. For instance, the character who is in books 1, 3, and 5 but are not required for 2 and 4.

I chat with the characters in my scene all the time. The problem with the current approach is that I have to save a snippit that has the prompt asking it to chat with the character in the scene, then every time I want to chat with a character in the scene I need to copy / paste that into the chat. It's time consuming. It would be so much more convenient if there were a dedicated chat box on the right side under the scene description (or anywhere) that shows each of the scene characters. You could click on one of the characters and it would open a chatbox where you can chat with that character. You should be able to have a chatbox for each scene character open at the same time so that you can quickly jump between chats with characters.
