The Creative Launchpad #
The ILYS Dashboard is your creative command center, where you can manage your Stories, Sections, and flow sessions. With a clean, focused design, it empowers you to track progress, organize your writing, and dive back into your creative flow with ease.
Write Now #
At the heart of it all is the giant can’t-miss-it-if-you-tried Write Now button. Click it to… ummm… Write Now. Clever, eh?
When you click Write Now, you’ll be taken to the session setup screen, where you can:
- Select an existing Story or create a new one.
- Start writing without a story, adding the session to Free Floating Sessions.
- Optionally:
- Set a title.
- Choose a goal.
- Add a focus prompt.
Stories and Free Floating Sessions #
A writing session can belong to a Story or to Free Floating Sessions. When a writing session belongs to a Story, it’s called a Story Section. Here’s a little diagram to help you understand the relationship between Stories, Sections, and Free Floating Sessions.
You’ll see them in the dashboard:
Quick Actions #
- Click a Story name to open it in the Editor.
- Click the Pencil icon to open the session setup screen for that Story.
- Click the … icon to access options like:
- Rename the Story.
- Change the image.
- Copy, archive, or delete the Story.
- Export or view its statistics.
Resume a Session #
If you leave a writing session without visiting the Editor, a “Resume” button will appear. Click it to pick up where you left off or choose Cancel to discard the session.
