The Manual

How to use Storskarvia.

The whole studio, explained properly: every panel, every menu, every keystroke, and the reasoning underneath. Written as a book, so you can read it straight through, or searched like a reference when you need one answer at eleven at night.

In a hurry? The one-page help summary answers most questions in a screen.

Skarv, the Storskarvia cormorant, in reading glasses — Skarv · Head of Staff

I · Getting Started

What Storskarvia is, what it refuses to do, and how to get from a new account to a page you are actually writing on.

1 What Storskarvia Is, and the One Thing It Will Not Do The studio model, the bright line against writing your prose, and an honest account of what the AI staff does and does not touch.
2 Your First Project and Your First Document From a new account to a page you can type on: creating a project, choosing its type, and finding your way around the binder.

II · Where Your Work Lives

Storage, autosave, versions, and what happens to your manuscript when something goes wrong.

3 Where Your Work Lives: Storage, Autosave, and Versions Storskarvia writes real files into your own Dropbox, Google Drive, or a folder on your machine. What it writes, when it syncs, and how to get an earlier draft back.
4 Connecting Dropbox The authorisation handoff, the app folder Storskarvia is sandboxed into, how the paths you type translate, and every way the connection can break.
5 Connecting Google Drive The authorisation handoff, why Storskarvia can only ever see the files it created, the My Drive folder layout, and the reconnect prompt that catches people out.
6 Saving to a Folder on Your Own Machine Pointing a document at a folder on this computer: which browsers can do it, the folders yours will refuse, what gets written, and the re-authorise click after a restart.
7 Versions: Checkpoints, Named Saves, and Restoring The two kinds of version Storskarvia keeps, how far back each one goes, what restoring does to the document on screen, and where the copies in your own cloud .versions/ folder come from.
8 When Sync Goes Wrong Every storage state the status bar can show you, what each one means for your work, and the exact fix: reconnecting a lapsed provider, clearing an occupied path, and recovering unsaved text your browser kept.

III · The Editor

The writing surface: elements, keyboard, find and replace, focus mode, and the status bar.

9 A Tour of the Editor The document bar, the ribbon tabs, the navigator, the manuscript, the findings rail and the status bar: what lives where, what changes with your format, and what the warnings mean.
10 The Keyboard Every shortcut Storskarvia binds, grouped by what you are doing: the ones that work everywhere, the element numbers that change with your format, and the ones you type rather than press.
11 Find and Replace Searching the document you have open, stepping through the matches, replacing one or all of them, and the character rename that find and replace should never be used for.
12 Focus Mode, Typewriter Scrolling, and the View Tab Every control on the View tab: stripping the screen back to the manuscript, keeping the cursor at a fixed height, dark mode, zoom, and a second document open beside the draft.
13 Word Counts, Page Counts, and Daily Goals What each number in the status bar counts, why three kinds of page can disagree, and how the daily goal decides what “today” means.
14 Footnotes, Images, and Tables The word-processor features a novel gets, where each one lives in the Insert tab, and exactly which exports carry it.

IV · Formats

Novel, screenplay, stage play, audio drama, and video script layout, and what each one does differently.

15 Writing a Novel One continuous draft, how Storskarvia recognises your chapters, what to do when it does not, and why the page count on screen is an estimate.
16 Screenplay Elements and How to Type Them All seventeen screenplay elements, what Enter and Tab do to each one, the lines that form themselves as you type, and how to set two characters talking at once.
17 Scene Numbers, Title Pages, and Revisions The Script tab's production furniture: scene numbers, the title page and where it prints, locked pages and A-pages, revision colours and stars, and omitting a scene.
18 Renaming a Character Everywhere The Rename Character dialog, which lines it rewrites and which it leaves alone, and the checkbox that reaches into your action and dialogue.
19 Writing a Stage Play The nine stage-play elements and what Enter and Tab do to each, the cast page and front matter you fill in once, the three house styles, and which exports carry them.
20 Audio Drama and Scripted Podcast Format The six audio drama elements and what Enter and Tab do to each, the spoken rate that drives every timing number, and the cue sheet, casting list and runtime built from the script.
21 Two-Lane Video Scripts The voiceover and visual lanes, the broadcast two-column grid and the row commands that keep VIDEO and AUDIO paired, the running-time estimate and the durations you set yourself, and the teleprompter built from the audio column.
22 Television Layout: US and UK Act marks, sequences and act-outs on the page, the structure bands that show an episode's shape, the UK television preset and what it does not change, and single-camera against multi-camera.
23 Series, Seasons, and Episodes Running a show as one project: the series bible, seasons as binder folders, episode order, the world every episode shares, and what continuity can and cannot see across them.
24 The Table Read Casting a voice per character and hearing your pages read back: what is spoken, what is skipped, and where the cast list and your script disagree.
25 Insights: Who Talks, Where, and For How Long Reading the Insights panel and what each number is actually measuring, including the three it measures loosely.

V · The Project

The binder, the Story Bible, the Outline board, the Research library, and the Lookbook.

26 The Story Bible What the Story Bible holds, how an entry is put together, and why the continuity editor is sharper once you have one.
27 Aliases, Custom Fields, and Hover Cards Making the Story Bible match how your draft actually refers to people and places, and turning an entry into something a check can hold your pages to.
28 Filling the Story Bible From a Draft The two buttons that read pages you have already written: the free cue-and-slugline sync, and the AI pass that proposes entries for you to tick.
29 The Outline Board Planning structure alongside the draft: beat cards, the long-form treatment, and keeping the two honest with each other.
30 The Research Library Where the material you brought and the cited answers Storskarvia found are both filed, what a note keeps, and how to find one again months later.
31 The Timeline Placing events on a story calendar, in story days or in real dates, and catching the stretches of time that are invisible in prose.
32 The Lookbook Turning Story Bible characters and locations into visual boards: the house style, what is actually sent, and what an image credit buys.
33 Collections Grouping documents inside a project without moving them in the binder: lists you put together and saved searches that keep themselves up to date.
34 Compiling a Whole Project Assembling every document into one manuscript: section layouts, chapter numbering, front matter, and the eight formats it writes out to.
35 Production Breakdown and Reports Scene, character, location and cast reports, element tagging, the stripboard, and Day Out of Days, all read from the script itself.

VI · The Staff

The fact-checker, the Skeptic, the continuity editor, and the researcher: what each one reads and what it hands back.

36 Running a Fact-Check Starting a check, what it reads and what it leaves alone, where the evidence comes from, how long it takes, and what it costs against your allowance.
37 Reading a Finding The anatomy of a defect card: the problem pill, the confidence percentage, the quote and Jump, the explanation and its unconfirmed-figure note, the sources, and what Resolve and Dismiss actually do.
38 The Skeptic: Why You See Fewer Findings Than It Found The adversarial reviewer that argues for your manuscript: what it is handed, what counts as a defence, what it throws away, and why a clean result can follow a flag.
39 The Period Expert How the fact-check holds real-world detail against the period your pages state, where it gets the date, and what it can and cannot know.
40 Running a Continuity Check What the continuity editor compares, what a Story Bible adds, and how to read a finding that quotes two passages against each other.
41 Asking the Researcher a Question Highlighting a passage, phrasing a question the search can use, what the Researcher cannot see, and how to read a cited answer before you rely on it.
42 What a Check Costs The 10,000-word unit, what each staff action costs, which words are counted, why a check that will not fit is refused whole, prepaid checks, and when the allowance renews.
43 When the Report Says Nothing Reading a clean result honestly: what the number counts, what was never checked, the runs Storskarvia refuses to call clean, and why there is no praise channel.
44 The Free Anachronism Checker The public checker on the website: what it reads, what it keeps, and how it differs from a fact-check inside a project.

VII · Working With Others

Share links, reviewer and editor roles, suggestion mode, tracked changes, and comments.

45 Share Links, Reviewers, and Editors Minting an invite link, what a reviewer and an editor can each do, what happens when somebody opens the link, and how the server enforces the difference.
46 Suggestion Mode and Tracked Changes Working in suggestions, what the marks mean, the Changes rail, and accepting or rejecting a pass without losing the draft underneath it.
47 Comments and Threaded Replies Pinning a note to a passage, replying, resolving, who may close a thread, and where unresolved comments gather across a whole project.
48 Reviewing Someone Else’s Draft The view from the other side of an invite: claiming the link, what the editor lets a reviewer or editor do, and what to do when a save is refused or the share ends.
49 Revoking Access Ending a share, what happens to the collaborator the moment you confirm, what stays in your draft, and what no revoke can take back.

VIII · Getting Work In and Out

Importing from other apps, and exporting to PDF, Word, Final Draft, Fountain, and plain text.

50 Importing Final Draft, Fountain, and Text Where the Import button lives, what each format brings with it and leaves behind, and why an import can open in a new project.
51 Importing From Scrivener Bringing a whole project across from Scrivener, Fade In or Celtx, what happens to its binder, what stays behind, and the size limits.
52 Exporting a Typeset PDF Courier-true screenplay pages, book pages for prose, standard manuscript format for submission, and what each one leaves out.
53 Watermarked Drafts and Revision Stars Stamping a recipient's name on a draft, and marking what changed since a saved version.
54 Exporting an EPUB Making an ebook of a novel or a compiled book, where its chapters come from, what goes inside, and the label an e-reader files it under.
55 Exporting Word, Final Draft, Fountain, and Text Which format to hand to whom, and what each one preserves.

IX · Account, Plans, and Privacy

Allowances and how they are counted, billing, your data, and how to leave with everything you came with.

56 Plans and Allowances Free, Pro, and Studio: what each includes, and how the monthly allowance behaves.
57 Buying More Checks Top-ups: what one buys, when it is spent, and what happens when the allowance and the top-up both run out.
58 Your Data and Your Privacy What Storskarvia holds, what it sends to a model provider, and what zero retention changes.
59 Account Settings and Passwords Your name, your password, two-step sign-in, and the devices you are signed in on.
60 Leaving, and Taking Everything With You Closing an account, and why your manuscript was never hostage to it in the first place.
