A free tool, a craft term, a lesson or the partner pages now open the way the home page opens: the same paper, the same type, the same closing. Nothing moved and nothing was renamed; it only looks like one place.
What changed
Tools on the paper
Each free tool sits as a sheet on the site's paper, with its marks in the same colours as before. Read my writing like an editor, Is this still your voice, How hard is this to read, Structured data, Find the shape of your story and Will an AI engine cite this all share the frame.
Terms and lessons that read like the journal
Reference entries and Story Craft lessons take the site's reading measure, headings and plum links. Before-and-after examples and the credited passages sit in the site's example cards.
One closing, or a quiet one
Tools, terms and lessons close with the invitation; partner and legal pages close on their own contact line. The journal's posts keep their reading styles; only the foot of a post changed.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-15.1
Every dialog, menu and picker now behaves the same way
The controls you use all day — dialogs, side panels, menus, pickers, tooltips, switches — share one behaviour: the keyboard reaches everything, Escape always closes, focus comes back to where you were, and results tell you what happened.
What changed
Dialogs and panels that behave
Share draft, the coach, publishing, story cards and the phone menu open the same way: focus goes in and stays in, Escape and the dim close them, the page behind stops scrolling. On a phone a dialog is a sheet from the bottom with the safe area respected. A panel holds itself open while a save or publish is running, so a press in flight is never abandoned by accident.
Menus and pickers you can drive from the keyboard
Draft actions is a real menu: arrow keys move, Enter chooses, typing a letter jumps. Every list to pick from looks like Verbaria on every browser. Room tabs take arrow keys too. Nothing ever opens off the edge of the screen; a long list scrolls inside instead.
Results that tell you what happened
A save that fails, a piece published, a draft sent to WordPress, a job that finishes — each arrives as a short notice at the bottom of the screen. A success leaves after a few seconds. A failure stays until you dismiss it and carries its reference id. Inline checks on a form stay inline.
Real tooltips, real explainers
Icon-only buttons have a tooltip that shows at once on keyboard focus. The ? on a score opens a small panel beside it; the page stays live. The browser's grey hover tooltip is gone. Touch never gets a tooltip; the words are in the label instead.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-14.1
See your map as a whole, and your story's people face to face
The Authority Map opens on a canvas you move around, and The whole story opens on the book itself, with a cast you can picture.
What changed
Your map on a canvas
Every pillar is an island. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, search for anything, and see each pillar's coverage, definition and connection at a glance. Zoom in on a pillar for its topics, key terms, pieces and pages. Reader questions ring the edge; repeats are merged with a count. "Where to work next" points at the weakest pillar, and a question can become a planned piece in one step.
Build the map from your own site
Read your site and Verbaria proposes pillars, key terms and topics from the pages you already have. Nothing is adopted until you say so. Each proposal shows the pages it came from.
The story opens on the story
Chapters sit in a row with their words and status. Pick one and start writing in two clicks. The coach is a drawer beside the page. Before anything is written, the beats of your shape stand in as placeholders that say what each part asks for. Start one and it becomes a chapter; the rest stay in place.
A cast you can picture
People, places and things become cards with a picture, a role and the chapters they appear in, found by name in your drafts. Initials and uploads are free. Draw a portrait from your own appearance line in your Studio hand, two choices, keep one or neither. Name relationships between people and see them drawn as a web you can arrange.
One warm visual system
The editor, Learn, Home, the map, Settings and admin now share the same colours, corners and shadows. A check in the build keeps it that way: the old greys and stray styles can only go down.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-13.2
Open a draft and start writing
Your writing now starts on the first screen, every room shows the same journey, and pages share one calm layout.
What changed
Your words come first
The project, next step, writing plan and connections fold into one line above your draft. Tap the line to open them. It opens on its own for a new, empty draft, when your saved writing context needs a look, and when you ask for your writing plan. On phones, the journey bar and Library link step aside so the writing starts sooner.
One journey, everywhere
Pulse, your Authority Map and your writing all show the same Map, Plan, Write, Share, Learn steps. The current step is marked, so you can see where a piece stands and move to the next step.
Calmer pages
Page titles, labels and spacing now match from room to room. Labels that only repeated where you are have gone; the tabs at the top of each room show it instead.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-13.1
Find your way in fewer steps
The menu now has a handful of places, grouped around what you are doing. Everything you had is still there, one tab away.
What changed
Start anything from New piece
Talk it through, plan it first, speak it or rewrite something, all from one button. Each way in is a tab on the same page. How a piece is created has not changed, and your saved links still open the same pages.
Home puts your desk first
The piece you were working on comes first, with Today’s plate and Refine as tabs beside it. The welcome banner now shows only until you have a first draft.
Research and your map live in Direction
Pulse research, your Authority Map and your foundation now sit together. The Authority Map keeps its own sections inside the Your map tab.
Your voice in one place
Brand profile, voice samples, personas and What I’ve learned share one room. When Verbaria has learned something for you to review, Your voice shows a count and opens straight to it. Account, plan and connections stay in Settings.
The whole story moves to Studio
Open Studio to continue a long-form story, beat by beat. Projects keeps your drafts and creations as tabs. What’s new and Getting started now live under Learn.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-03.1
Find your way through the writing room
The guided tour now follows the current workspace and keeps you in control as you explore.
What changed
Walk the current screens
Explore Home, Projects, Create, research, the Authority Map, writing and sharing. The refreshed tour includes your foundation, The whole story, Marketing and Learn. It shows the screens without starting research, generating writing or publishing a piece.
Stay in control
Move back, continue or leave the tour whenever you need to. Redirects no longer keep sending you between screens. Guidance waits for the screen, stays within the viewport and offers a way forward when a screen cannot open. The app guide also follows the current navigation.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-02.5
Your voice, with a clear account of the help
Review the wording and assistance recorded for a saved piece, with clear limits on what can be verified.
What changed
See how a piece came together
Open Publish to check and download its saved writing record. Source words, AI wording and recorded help are explained separately. Your voice, facts and decisions can shape AI prose; a wording match does not certify authorship or factual accuracy.
Take the record with your work
Choose to include a separate disclosure in Markdown, Word, HTML or PDF article exports. External sites and social platforms do not receive disclosure automatically. Missing history and stale publication records withhold percentages instead of guessing. Images, audio, video and whole-book authorship are outside this prose record.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-02.4
Keep your tools beside your words
Your writing and formatting toolbar now stays visible as you scroll through a longer piece.
What changed
Keep writing without scrolling back
Reach your coach, Toolbox and formatting controls while working further down the page. The dock stays within the writing column and below the phone navigation. Formatting controls scroll sideways on phones, and Find & Replace opens alongside the tools. Focus mode keeps its existing separate dock.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-02.3
From your words to your readers
Distribution and Marketing now share the warmer rooms of your writing workspace, with clearer paths from research and projects to sharing and observations.
What changed
Give your writing a destination
Choose a saved piece, review what goes with it and open its publishing options. Distribution keeps package preparation separate from publication. Its three steps stay visible on smaller screens. Open a piece’s sharing plan to review its brief, package, marketing options and next step.
Keep your offers and copy together
Review your offers and saved copy in a calmer Marketing room. Prepare copy for your website, emails or social platforms. Marketing does not send or publish it; your existing offers and saved work stay in place.
Review before you share
Distribution packages carry the same design through review and export. Existing evidence and approval checks still apply. An approved package is ready to export, and does not mean it has been published.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-02.2
More room for your words. A clearer view of your work.
Warmer writing rooms keep your notes, plan and help nearby. Your visual authority map brings saved pillars, pages, pieces, entities and questions together, with PDF and SVG downloads.
What changed
Return to your work
Find projects and drafts from Home, with a working name you can change. Your existing work stays in place. A project brings one piece, a series or a creative idea together; your authority map organizes the brand's subjects and connections.
Keep help nearby
Move between Notes, Outline and Help while you shape your own words. The quiet room reserves space for writing tools. Your project notes stay beside the piece, and guidance opens without sending a coach message or applying a suggestion.
See your whole map
Explore your saved pillars, main pages, pieces, entities and reader questions. Focus on an area, present it or download PDF/SVG. Saved organization, concept relationships, recorded website links and unapplied suggestions keep separate meanings. Exports exclude unreviewed proposals and disclose partial views; a connection is not a ranking promise or a checked backlink.
Find your next step
Research, learning and publication review have warmer surfaces and clearer choices. Your writing, preferences and decisions remain yours. Choose the tools and suggestions you want, review your sources, then use the existing sharing and publishing controls.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-10-02
Give your ideas a home, and keep your writing connected
Home and Projects now put your writing, notes, research and next steps within reach. Your introduction carries into both profiles, with suggestions you can shape yourself.
What changed
A home for each idea
Name or rename a project for a piece, series or creative idea, and keep its drafts and notes together. Use Suggest names for editable starting points based on your saved direction. Choosing a name never creates a pillar or publishes anything. Existing drafts stay available, and archiving a project preserves its writing.
Keep your material beside your writing
Return to project notes, saved research and your outline from the editor. Review where notes and sources belong. Your original words stay intact, and navigation waits for your writing to save. Research references remain distinct from evidence you have checked.
Carry your introduction forward
The answers you confirm in your brand walkthrough now feed both Brand Profile and Content Profile together. Your deliberate edits and exact writing sample are preserved. Details you have not supplied remain open to refine; the system does not invent a complete profile.
Continue with guidance within reach
Your planning, source review, coaching and publishing checks stay connected to the piece you are working on. Home, Projects, Pulse and Authority Map are easy to reach. The existing Today view remains under Writing. You choose whether to use suggestions, and review changes before applying them.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-09-28.2
Take a spoken thought or a spark of inspiration further
Speak It and Rewrite now offer an optional path into your authority map, focused Pulse research and a writing plan, with your original material kept safe.
What changed
Start with your idea
Choose Develop this idea from Speak It or Rewrite, or return from a saved piece. The quick draft and rewrite paths remain available. Saving your starting material uses no generation.
Review where it fits
Ask for a suggested area, related pieces and concepts, or keep the piece separate. You choose the placement. Suggestions do not create pillars, entities or website links automatically.
Research and prepare
Ask Pulse to research this idea and build a plan alongside your words. Each optional AI action shows its generation cost. Review sources and missing evidence, then continue in the editor with your plan and coach. Your brand's Pulse report is unchanged.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Release 2026-09-28
A clearer path from your ideas to your writing
Your research, authority map and writing now work more closely together, with guidance at each step and more flexible review for short posts.
What changed
Find your next step
Move from Pulse research to a suggested map, then plan, write and share your piece. Review the suggested map before adopting it. The guided path helps you choose what to work on next, and you can still go straight to your writing.
See how your ideas connect
Bring pillars, supporting pieces, terms and questions into view as you plan. See the connections saved for your piece and return to the area it belongs to. Planned connections and checked website links stay distinct. The authority map report gives you a guide you can take with you.
Start with more than a title
Use available research and suggested structure to prepare your piece, with the coach nearby. Ask for a suggested reader takeaway, review the context behind your plan, and choose a starting shape. Suggestions are yours to change; you can also begin with a blank page.
Review short writing on its own terms
Approve your original caption without generating extra versions, then copy or download its text. Editing the writing prompts a fresh review. Social text exports keep your words without adding the working title. An unfinished outline stays in the writing step. Text export does not create media or publish to a social account.
Your writing stays yours: use the guidance when it helps, and keep working in your own way.
Every change starts with the work.
