When you want to finish an existing work-in-progress or write a sequel to one of your completed manuscripts, the best way to bring your work into Sudowrite is the Import Novel feature.

Import Novel reads the file that you’ve uploaded—whether that’s a draft or a messy pile of notes—and fills out your Story Bible for you, identifying important characters, settings, and even generating an outline. It’s intended to speed up your process, and we just made it even faster. Import Novel now identifies chapter breaks in your manuscript and splits them into separate documents in your Sudowrite project.

With chapters split out into separate documents automatically, linking corresponding Outline sections is a breeze. Automatic chapter splitting is now available in the Import Novel tool, accessed in the upper left corner of your Sudowrite homepage.
