The "Confirm context" preview: the content to be sent listed by category, with each item’s inclusion status.

Steps

  1. Before the assistant sends, NovelThread shows a "Confirm context" preview listing categories like the current conversation, this book’s settings and progress, prose excerpts, and a local overview — nothing is sent until you confirm.
  2. Use "@" in the input to reference exactly what to include: a project, chapter, asset, outline, the current selection, your latest written chapter, or even another book as reference.
  3. Choose a write approval mode: Manual (confirm actions unless set to "Always allow") or Auto (writes run automatically); you can also set "Always allow" for individual tools.
  4. NovelThread signature-checks the content so what’s actually sent is exactly what you confirmed — never the full prose, never settings you didn’t list.
