How Projects Work
Your work in Fable is organized into a clear hierarchy:
- A project is a writing project — a novel, a screenplay, a game script, a content series
- Each project has a title, an emoji icon, a list of collaborators, and one or more documents
- A document is a single piece of writing — a chapter, a scene, a section, or a standalone note
Projects are what you share. When you invite collaborators, they get access to the entire project — all its documents and history.
Creating and Managing Documents
Inside a project, you can:
- Create new documents — click the + button in the sidebar header
- Rename documents — click the edit icon next to any document title
- Delete documents — remove documents you no longer need
Each document has its own title, content, and complete edit history.
Organizing Your Work
Documents can be reordered by dragging and dropping them in the sidebar. Arrange your chapters in whatever order makes sense for your story. The default order is most recently created on top.
You can create multiple projects — a personal novel, a team screenplay, a game script. Each project has its own collaborators, documents, and settings. Shared projects appear alongside your own in the sidebar with a (shared) label on hover.
Archiving Projects
When a writing project is complete, you can archive it instead of deleting it. Archived projects can be recovered at any time — nothing disappears without a safety net. This keeps your workspace clean while preserving the full history of everything you've written.
The Document Editor
The editor is a clean, distraction-free writing surface that supports all the formatting you need:
- Bold and italic text
- Headings (H1, H2, H3)
- Bullet lists and numbered lists
- Blockquotes
- Horizontal rules
- Word and character counts
Content is written in Markdown and rendered beautifully in the editor. Both sidebars are collapsible, so you can focus on just the writing when you need to.
