Editor dialogs adjust the selected manuscript content without changing project or book defaults.
- Block settings control target, style, and production metadata for the selected block.
- Comments & tasks hold editorial discussions and assignments; they are not manuscript callout boxes.
- Comments and replies support simple Markdown for paragraphs, emphasis, lists, links, quotes, and inline code.
- Table confirmations protect structural edits that can remove rows, columns, or table content.
- Inline image controls set asset path, alt text, caption, size, and alignment.
- Link controls add or update a hyperlink on selected text.
Preview or listen to a small section after changing production-sensitive block settings.
Comments & tasks separates editorial discussions from assignments. Choose Add comment or Add task. Category keeps the existing editorial categories. Higher Issue severity numbers mean more serious problems, not better writing. Replies inherit the thread category and severity.
-
0 - Idea: the current text is not causing a real problem.
-
1 - Minor: small cleanup or low-risk consistency issue.
-
2 - Worth addressing: should probably be fixed, but does not break this category.
-
3 - Noticeable: weakens the reading experience or causes confusion.
-
4 - Serious: likely to affect quality, audience acceptance, or editorial readiness.
-
5 - Print-blocking: do not print the book until this issue is addressed.
Hover over an editable block to see Listen (play), Insert (+), an existing Comments & tasks count when there are comments, and Block actions (gear), in that order. Listen opens Listen to selection for that block; it is absent for Print only, Neither, read-only, and Reference and Guidance blocks. The comment count opens the existing discussion. In Insert (+), Add comment appears first whenever permitted, even if comments already exist; a separator follows only when other insertion actions are available. A read-only commenter sees Add comment alone, without a separator. Math inserts at the caret; Math After adds a block after this one. Expand More blocks for code, inset, diagram, quote, and divider blocks.
