What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
I love the world scrapbook, and use it heavily for my world, but I use it in a lot of different ways and it's getting longer, unorganized and sometimes tough to find stuff. I would love some organization features there, like creating multiple scrapbook pages/folders.How does this feature request address the current situation?
I use my scrapbook as a storehouse for specific bbcode snippets, ideas/inspiration I want to parking lot (because I'm in the middle of something else), quick notes to categorize into specific article scrapbooks later, todos, etc. essentially to reduce multiple tabbing as much as possible so I can focus on one article or chapter of writing at a time. Being able to sort these into clearer sections or pages would be really helpful. I do like being able to keep them in the world scrapbook because it's accessible anywhere I'm editing/working and keeps it ready unlike paper that can be forgotten/misplaced.What are other uses for this feature request?
I think it could be super useful for many people to just have a ready-access notebook anywhere that could be kept a little more tidy/categorized.Follow up
Because of a few comments about the whole Notebook section, I want to clarify one thing about this: The huge helpful piece of the World Scrapbook is it accessible everywhere without leaving the page. This means as I'm writing in a manuscript, I can jot a quick note to update some article to be consistent with a plot choice. Or as I'm writing an article I can pop up the scrapbook to get specific custom div blocks I have for various article types to add. Or as I'm writing an article I can leave a to do to update a manuscript with a new word for x... etc. They key here is I'm not leaving the page and not leaving what I'm doing so I'm able to be more efficient. If for example the world scrapbook was replaced with an interface to access the notebook as well that could be another way to solve it, but I think having accessible scrapbook available without leaving the page is SO valuable, I'd like to be able to use it a little more efficiently.
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! As the comments mentioned, the notebook is the organized scrapbook. However, we understand that context shifting can be very distracting, so an update coming in the near future will make the notebook accessible from the editing interface.

on 2023-09-11 20:00This sounds like a good idea. I'd give it more support if the description discussed how it is different from Notebooks and other organizational features of WA.

on 2023-09-01 07:55I'm confused. We already have the Notebook area, which is organized as Notebooks => Sections => Pages. What would this add that isn't already in there?
