I would greatly appreciate an option to delete series, instead of deleting individual novels from inside the series, then having the series I have abandoned cluttering up my dropdown menu. Thank you!

Glossary can be added to the codex, so a long list of words that are (automatically) sorted alphabetically. So that when I write and come across a definition, I can go directly to the Glossary from the text. So like an article, but a glossary.

For example, I would like to add flowcharts, tables, and other images other than the thumbnail to the codex articles. Maybe by pasting it into a text box, but of course it would be better if you could create a detail that is a table.

Ability to insert a graphic element into the narrative or prose to enhance the visual appeal and effectiveness of storytelling within NovelCrafter. For example: relevant images, charts, symbols, or other graphical representations directly alongside the text.

I use the Codex to manage a large LitRPG project with many specialized entries stored under the Other entry type, including classes, abilities, resources, attributes, status effects, factions, and species. Custom Categories provide a useful way to associate tags with particular entry types. However, the Associated Custom Details section appears to support only dropdown custom details. It does not allow me to associate other custom-detail types, such as Line, Text, or Codex Reference. This prevents me from creating a complete reusable structure for entries identified by a particular tag or custom category. For example, I would like to create an Ability category associated with the Ability tag. When I create or classify an Other entry as an Ability, Novelcrafter should automatically make the relevant Ability custom details available. Those details might include: * Ability Category as a dropdown * Resource Cost as a line field * Governing Class as a Codex Reference * Progression Rules as a text field At present, I cannot associate most of these fields with the Ability category or tag. I must remember which custom details belong to each kind of entry and add them manually every time. This becomes frustrating and time-consuming in a large project. It also increases the risk of inconsistent entries, forgotten fields, and custom details being added to the wrong type of record. I would like Custom Categories to support associating every available custom-detail type, including: * Line * Text * Dropdown * Codex Reference * Any other supported custom-detail format Ideally, Novelcrafter would use the entry’s primary type and assigned tag or custom category to determine which custom details belong to that entry. When the relevant tag is applied, the associated fields should become available automatically. Removing the tag could hide those fields without deleting any values already entered. I understand that this association could function purely as a visual organization feature. It would not need to alter how custom-detail values work, provide additional AI context, or create a functional relationship between the tag and the stored information. Simply showing the appropriate custom details when an entry has the associated type or tag would be an extremely helpful quality-of-life improvement. This would make the Other entry type much more practical for projects that require several specialized subtypes. It would also let authors create consistent templates for concepts that do not fit Character, Location, Object, Lore, or Subplot. Please consider expanding Associated Custom Details beyond dropdown fields and allowing custom details to be connected to custom categories or their associated tags. Even as a visual association, this change would remove a large amount of repetitive setup and make complex Codex projects easier to maintain.

In my novels, there are several time jumps. Usual ones like "The next day", "A few hours later", ... Sometimes I have flashbacks and sometimes two scenes happen at once. First, it would be super awesome to have a feature in "Plan" mode, where I can arrange scenes in a timeline. This would be super helpful for outlining a story and avoid plot-holes. Secondly, it would be cool, if this timeframe could get some properties (like season, weather or day/night) and be stored with the scene (kind of like the POV). So when I generate the prose it doesn't say "the summer sun was warm", when it happens in winter. I know, that's a big one, but it would help a lot in crafting a novel.

different from the story timeline, a graphic representation of all the occurrences in a fictional universe that can be placed on a timeline fro greater coherence and ease of use in story telling

WHy do I need to re-add all the details if the information is all within the text? The point of AI should be able to scrub through the text and gather that data.

A search-and-REPLACE option in Codex so we can change the names of characters / objects / locations universally across multiple entries with one click. It would save a lot of time instead of manually updating each separate Codex entry.

As a user I frequently need to use a reference image to help me visualize a location or building. This helps me to remember the building layout, so that I can be consistent in my descriptions as characters move throughout the building. A thumbnail is insufficient for this purpose.
