FAQ

How does it work?

First you have to create elements of the following element types: characters, factions, locations, items and milestones. Every element needs at least a name and a description. Create new elements, enter the corresponding data and link elements. You can then find important information more easily.

How do I create an element?

The main page shows a list of elements for every element type. The first element in this lists is always a plus symbol. Click on it to create a new element of the corresponding type.

Can I format element descriptions?

Yes, you can use Markdown notation in your description. For example, type *TEXT* to have an italic text, or **TEXT** to make it bold. You can even use Hyperlinks!

What are favorites?

Favorites will be marked with a star symbol and will be displayed first when using the search function.

How do I link elements?

First open one of the two elements that you want to link together. Then search for the second element in the "Create link" area. Click on the second element and enter a description. After that click on "Save" to create the link. The linked item will now be listed under "Links".

How to use tags?

Custom tags can be added to any element. Just open the element, go to the "Tags"-area and type the tag that you want to add. Already existing tags will appear as suggestions. You then can filter and search for elements by specific tags.

What is the history page?

How is my data stored?
