World Map

The World Map view lets you upload a map of your story's world and drop pins on it to mark locations. Each pin links to a Story Bible setting, so your geographic layout stays connected to your world-building data.

Uploading a Map

  1. Click the Upload Map button (or the placeholder area if no map is set)
  2. Select a JPEG or PNG image from your computer
  3. The image loads as the map background

To replace the map later, click the Replace button in the toolbar. Pin positions are preserved as fractional coordinates (0.0–1.0), so they scale if you swap to a differently sized image.

Adding Pins

The sidebar shows two sections:

  • Unpinned — Story Bible settings that have no map position yet
  • Pinned — settings already placed on the map

To place a pin:

  1. Click a setting in the Unpinned list
  2. Click on the map where you want to place it
  3. The pin appears at that location and the setting moves to the Pinned list

Moving Pins

Drag any pin to reposition it. Positions auto-save with a short debounce so you can fine-tune placement without triggering excessive network requests.

Pin Details

Click a pin to open its detail panel, which shows:

  • Setting name and type
  • Description
  • Atmosphere
  • Sensory details
  • Scenes that take place in this setting

Removing Pins

Hover over a pin to reveal a delete button. Clicking it removes the pin from the map (the setting remains in your Story Bible — only the map position is removed).

Pan & Zoom

  • Pan — click and drag the map background
  • Zoom — scroll wheel or use the +/− buttons in the corner
  • Zoom range: 0.25× to (step: 0.15)

AI Generate

For settings that don't have a description yet, click AI Generate in the pin detail panel. The AI writes a location description based on the setting name and your project's Story Bible context.
