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.

I would like to be able to sort the individual novels in some way, so we can still sort the series by date (last edited series at the top) and then inside the series keep a different sorting method for the novels (for example Book 1 is always the first one even though I made recent changes to Book 3) Not super important, but I don't expect it to be a big task 😊

Add an ‘Insert chapter before’ option in the manuscript, so I can add a new chapter directly between two existing chapters without having to create it in Plan and drag it into place. This is especially important for long outlines where dragging across many chapters is slow and error prone. Please also add an ‘Insert scene before’ option for the same reason

Current Challenge: When writing a chapter that includes lots of scenes, I frequently encounter the need to insert a new scene before the one I'm currently editing. The existing process is cumbersome; it requires me to navigate to the end of the chapter to add a new scene and then drag the empty scene back up to the desired location. Proposed Solution: To streamline this process, I suggest implementing one of the following enhancements: A) Scene Action Menu Option: Integrate an option into the scene action menu to "Add New Scene Before This". This would allow for the immediate insertion of a new scene directly before the current one. B) In-line "+ Scene" Button: Place a "+ Scene" button between existing scenes. Clicking this button would add a new scene at that specific location. Note: This request is also applicable to creating New Chapters when in "Write" mode. There is a need to be able to create a new Chapter without having to scroll to the end of an Act in the manuscript, or without having to go to Plan mode to insert a new Chapter before the current one.

I would love to see an aesthetic progress bar for word count tracking somewhere visible while we draft. Something to motivate and encourage to keep on working and complete writing goals. Maybe word count goals + progress tracker per scene, chapter novel and series? That would be really amazing and I'd be forever grateful for this!

If I find a better model and prompt combo, would be nice to resummarize all scenes in one shot.

Ability to insert a graphic element into the narrative or prose to enhance the visual appeal and effectiveness of storytelling within NovelCrafter. For example: relevant images, charts, symbols, or other graphical representations directly alongside the text.

During a story, it is common for an entity to change physically or visually while keeping the same name. Examples: * A spaceship is modified or upgraded * A character is transformed into another species * A virus turns a character into a zombie * An artifact that looked like a staff is revealed to be a shotgun * The protagonist’s village becomes a military installation Because of this, a single reference image for a Codex entry is often not enough. Suggestion: allow multiple images to be attached to a single Codex entity. Additionally, it could be useful if images could change automatically through Codex Progressions , so that once a certain point in the story is reached, the reference image updates to reflect the new state of the entity.

I understand that most features would have to be disabled but being able to just view and edit my story when I dont have internet would make this my default program. For now I still have to keep a google doc.

It would be nice to have a feature that can read out loud. I think this will help with making adjustments to writing and also to take a break from constantly reading as well as sometimes hearing what we as writers have written can also make a huge difference in our creativity.
