Philip_PirripQ: How do I change a chapter outline using the 'Edit Chapter with AI' button
I have been clicking on this button and entering how I want the chapter outline to change but nothing ever happens. I have tried big changes and small changes, but nothing happens. I even tried deleting what was in that chapter numbers outline, e.g. Plot Events, and then clicking on 'Edit Chapter with AI' and it just remaned blank even though it says it has done it.

I looked at the outline edits on our side from yesterday afternoon, and I think I found yours (chapter 5). The button did send every request. The problem is that the AI sent the chapter back almost the same as before. On the last one it renamed the chapter "The Red Lion" but left the old pub in the Plot Events. The app still said "Changes applied successfully!", which it should not say when that little changed. That part is a bug on our side and we're looking into it.
What works reliably right now:
1. Edit the field yourself. On the chapter card, click the small pencil next to "Plot Events" (or any other field), type the version you want and click Save. It costs no credits, and the chapter is written from exactly that text.
2. Don't clear a field and then run Edit Chapter with AI to refill it. It works from what is already there, so for a big change it is faster and more reliable to type the new Plot Events in directly.
3. If you would rather start that chapter's outline over, "Regenerate this chapter" on the card writes a fresh outline for it (3 credits), and you can then adjust it by hand with the pencil.
One more thing: outline changes don't rewrite a chapter you have already generated. If the chapter is already written, regenerate it on the Write step after you update the outline.
I hope it helps!
