* Storybook comes with 3 views:
o The Chronological View shows the scenes sorted by date.
o The Manage Chapters and Scenes view shows all chapters and their assigned scenes. Scenes can be moved and renumbered by Drag-and-Drop.
o The Book View shows all chapters and their assigned scenes sorted by chapter and scene numbers, as you would read it in the final book.
* Storybook helps you to keep an overview, especially helpful for complex stories with two or more plot-lines (strands). Imagine it as a kind of a "dynamic mind map".
* Strands and strand links: Each scene belongs to a primary strand. Optionally, other related secondary-strands can be linked to a scene.
* Characters: Add, edit or remove characters and assign them to scenes.
* Locations: Add, edit or remove locations and assign them to scenes.
* Chapters: Define your chapters and assign scenes to them.
* Parts: Large projects can be split into well-arranged parts.
* Information: A hierarchic tree shows all characters, locations, chapters and strands. If scenes are missing or exist twice, a warning informs you.
* Adjustable view: All views can be re-sized to fit to screen or to get a better overview. Even more working space is available if you hide the information panel with a simple click on the tool bar.
* Task list and Navigation: The task list shows all scenes with a status other than "done". With the "Go to date" respectively "Go to chapter" navigation you can easily jump to the desired date or chapter-number.
* Spell Check: Your text can be checked for spelling. New words can be added to your personal user directory.
* Instant save: Because Storybook uses an embedded database called H2 to store data (and not a file) each input entered is saved in an instant. Even if the program crashes, you won't loose any data.
