Live preview
See the finished pages as you write: the manuscript, the reading copy or the paperback, laid out exactly as a build would lay it out.
The preview shows the book’s pages beside the editor, using the same layout as the real build. It updates a moment after you stop typing, before you save, redrawing only the pages that changed, and keeps the scene you’re writing in view. Click a page to open the scene on it.
Choose which build configuration to preview at the top: the submission manuscript, a reading copy, or a paperback’s interior. If the scene you’re writing isn’t in the one you’ve chosen (a draft, say, in a submission that only takes revised scenes), the preview says so and offers one that includes it.
