Story Teller Docs / Projects & Workspaces

Projects & Workspaces

A project is the container for a body of work in Omni Core. Everything you do — your stories, topics, and the libraries of documents you draw on — lives inside a project. This page explains the two kinds of project, what a project keeps track of, and how to save and restore one.

Fiction and general projects

Every project has a type, chosen when you create it:

  • A fiction project is for writing stories. Only a fiction project can hold a story with a manuscript, characters, places, and a timeline. This is the project type Story Teller uses.
  • A general project is for research, notes, and knowledge management, without the story-writing tooling.

If you try to create a story in a general project, Omni Core will tell you that stories can only be created in a fiction project. Choose or create a fiction project first.

What a project keeps

A project remembers the state of your working environment so you can pick up exactly where you left off:

  • Which topics and libraries are visible and active
  • Your window layout and open tabs

Because a project bundles all of this, switching projects switches your whole working context — the story you are writing, the topics in view, and the documents you have open.

Saving and reverting

  • Save Project writes the current visibility and layout into the project, so re-opening it later restores the same view.
  • Revert Project discards unsaved changes to that state and restores the last saved version.

Saving a project does not change your manuscript or your notes — those are saved as you write. Saving a project only records how you were working: which topics were shown and active, and how your windows were arranged.

How many projects you can have

The free tier supports a single project. Multiple projects require an upgraded license — see Licensing & Trial . This lets you keep separate novels, or a novel and a research project, fully isolated from one another.
