Changelog

New features, improvements, and updates to Entangled Text.

July 2026
Story Studio
  • New Story Wizard recommended — New books and onboarding now lead with Story Wizard: short brief → review & accept outline → Chapter 1, then write one chapter at a time (or run the rest when you want). Bring a manuscript or Translate a book are also available.
  • New Clearer start-path names — Paths use consistent labels across Story Studio, onboarding, and email: Start a new book, Bring a manuscript, and Translate a book.
  • Improved Outline → Chapter 1 handoff — Accept outline, write later, Free daily pause, and Chapter 1 start share one server-owned phase so reload and Stop no longer skip review, false-ready empty shells, or auto-start Chapter 1 after Accept & write later.
  • Improved Free words pause — When Kestrel — Free runs out before Chapter 1, Story Studio locks cleanly, keeps your accepted outline, and resumes only after words return or you upgrade — without inventing a pause while allowance is still loading.
  • Improved Stop during outline — If an outline was already drafted when you stop, Review & accept still opens; true cancels show a clear retry path without pulling in a stale outline.
  • Improved Coaching tips — First-session tips are back with clearer copy for Write and Ship. They stay quiet during outline builds and Chapter 1 generation, then return when the studio is idle.
  • Improved Story Health fixes — Clearer Fix controls with live health resync, safer book-wide passes, and smarter single-chapter vs full-book repair.
  • Improved Notes & onboarding — Notes open faster, and onboarding start paths match the same Story Studio catalog you see in the dashboard.
