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.

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.

Much like moving code entries to another book in a series, please can we have the ability to move entries into other series. I am looking to create another series based upon the same lore and places in my current one and don't want to rewrite it all again.

It'd be great if there were a way to direct the AI to un-include an otherwise universal codex item in a particular prompt's instructions. Specifically thinking of the Prose Style Guide codex item. There are lots of workshop chat prompts that I don't need or want to send stylistic info to the AI, for instance Scene Beats from Summary, or other brainstorming/development prompts. But I don't want to have to remember (i.e. rarely do remember) to turn off "universal" in the codex item.

There is currently no way to view your already existing thumbnail images in your codex, which is currently a very small thumbnail. It would be very useful to reference your thumbnails while writing by enlarging them when you click on them, just like you are able to reference your text.

Just a small QoL improvement in making the default Novel Language for new Novels set within the account settings.

When working in the Tinker chat window, it would be nice to be able to include snippets (which may contain notes from elsewhere or bits from previous Tinker chats) as part of the current discussion. A workaround for now is to attach something like the following to a custom prompt and then executing that prompt: Our discussion is going to be about the following notes (which in the discussion will be referred to as the "notes"), keeping in mind that this is a work in progress, and that later elements in the notes may supersede earlier ones. Please remember and analyse all the notes below and give me a brief summary of them. <notes>{snippets.get("Notes (original)")}</notes> <notes>{snippets.get("World")}</notes>

Some prompts only make sense when the user can provide additional details or information beforehand that then get passed onto the instructions.

This is my very well-missed feature from when I used Scrivener: Snapshots (that can be labeled/titled) to look back at previous versions of drafts. Like before you edited it or cut text. It would be nice to compare the edited version with the original/previous drafts, see all the changes, and have the option to roll back some of them and keep others. I've tried using revision history but since I'm unable to label those they get lost quickly in the log as edits are made.
