🔍 Story Bible Detection & Visibility Update

The Draft tool has always incorporated elements of your Story Bible that it recognized in your Scenes, but until now you've had to take our word for it.

We just added Story Bible Detection to Draft, which gives you real time visibility into which Characters and Worldbuilding elements the AI is referencing when generating prose. Detected elements from your Story Bible will now be underlined—whereas elements you've chosen to hide from the AI will not.

This cosmetic update is a signal for the author's reference to let you know when the elements you’ve intended to include are actually being recognized. It’s a great way to:

  • Spot typos that would prevent the AI from including an element

  • Remind yourself which Characters are visible/hidden to Sudowrite

  • Discover why the AI is making some questionable choices

So, no changes to the way the AI works—just more visibility into how your prose is being generated. Speaking of visibility…

We’ve also made a small update to the Visibility toggle in Story Bible. Now when you hover over a Character card, Worldbuilding element, or trait, an eyeball icon will appear. Click the eyeball icon to hide a card or trait from Sudowrite, and a struck-through eyeball icon will take its place. (That will persist, so you always have at-a-glance access to what’s actively hidden.)

Story Bible Detection and the updated Visibility toggle are now available in Sudowrite, though you may need to refresh to see them. Here's hoping you find them as helpful as we have!
