Book settings narrow project defaults for one title. Most controls either inherit from the project or override the project value for this book.
- General contains book chat availability. Writing > Typography selects or inherits the typography preset.
- Publishing controls store book-level defaults for EPUB and audiobook metadata, including title, subtitle, author, publisher, description, rights, ISBN, subjects, series data, and ordered title-page fields. The publishing title does not rename the book in Explorer.
- Open Reference and Guidance from the Explorer. Sections can apply to the entire project or selected books and manuscripts.
- Publishing > Cover art controls choose cover and title-page image assets for book outputs.
- Publishing > Headings & contents controls can inherit project defaults or set book-specific rhythm, cues, and table-of-contents behavior.
- Voices remain in settings. Pronunciations and Effects are project-wide resources in Project library, not settings overrides.
Use book overrides sparingly. If every book needs the same setting, put the value on the project instead.
Open Project library > Effects in the Explorer, below Images, Audio, and Files. Effect presets belong to the project and are shared by all its books and manuscripts, without book overrides. Choose New effect preset beside Help in the page header. Save changes saves immediately; closing with unsaved edits offers keep or discard. Preset previews use project settings and project voices. Choose Listen, then Play. Closing the editor leaves already playing audio in the floating player.
Audio reuse is an advanced setting. Group reusable audio by shows heading levels with their configured names; a level is not necessarily a chapter. Pause narration pauses the voice while a sound cue plays. Sound effects add sounds to the story; voice effects change narration.
