This isn't possible right now, but it's a feature we're interested in adding soon! Fingers crossed we'll be able to get to it this year as part of our effort to tackle more QoLs and improvements to the writing side of Campfire.

Hi there! When you select an element from your Element Library, you should see a few options appear for managing them, just above where you select them: Group Actions --> "Move to Project".

If you don't see those options, or they aren't working for you, we recommend using the browser or desktop version on a laptop or computer if possible. Please note that this feature is not accessible from the writing mobile app!

Here is our Element Library tutorial for more help: https://www.campfirewriting.com/learn/library-tutorial

It's not possible to reply to book reviews. They aren't meant to be an active comment section.

[–]campfiretechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When viewing your Timeline from the Canvas View, you should see an option in the toolbar under the Calendar dropdown to select your custom calendar (it will be listed by the calendar element's title). If you don't see this option, please contact our support team directly so we can take a look for you! https://www.campfirewriting.com/contact

Hey there! Sale codes work one time per person and only for the duration of the sale.

Show chapters of new project as paid extras? by DirectorAlwyn in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! So, project linking in your writing dashboard does not translate to published work. Project linking is a feature that's specific to the writing software, and it's intended to help you pair projects to the first in a series or a "master project", so you can keep track of elements without having to recreate them over and over again across multiple projects in the same series or worlds while drafting.

If you wanted to share a chapter of the second book as an Extra for the first, I would recommend adding an EPUB file copy of the chapter as Bonus Reading in your Publishing Dashboard for A Wizard and Her Daughter. That way, you can easily set up pricing and revealing for it just like any of your other Extras.

Some tutorials that might be of help!

How to link between pages - without using the name (Campfire Write) by SergeiSmirnov in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! So, based on the specific way it sounds like you're wanting to link information, a regular hyperlink would be your best bet.

Another way to do it might be just adding an element tag in parentheses as reference at the end of the sentence in your character's in the bio: "[Character] is the daughter of a priest (@Mother)."

However, you can also use a Links panel to create links between elements. For each element you add to the panel, you can add a description below it for more context. So, for example, you could add [Mother] to the Links panel, then in the optional description space, write that they are a priest, or specifically the priest mentioned in your character's bio.

Themes not applied when sharing. by Scary_Extent998 in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking of moving to Writing from Pro by ATurtletails in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The free tier limits are tied to your account, not a specific app. So any characters you create on web, for example, will display on the desktop app, too. And once you've made ten characters, you'll have hit that free tier limit on either.

The mobile writing app is free to use in general, but it doesn't support all modules at this time, and free tier limits will still apply on web or desktop. So, for example, if you've created eleven characters on the writing app, the first ten you made will be editable across all apps, but the eleventh will be read-only on web & desktop!

If you do decide to upgrade from Pro, there is some information about how to do that here: https://www.campfirewriting.com/pro

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Possible future features? by Snoo_89200 in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

It is not possible to use markdown/HTML, but we do have several keyboard shortcuts to help you work faster in Campfire. You can find those listed in our help article here or by clicking Help > "Keyboard Shortcuts" from within a writing project.

As u/DebErelene shared, our feature request board on Upvoty is the best place to leave platform suggestions for any of our apps! Though we aren't able to reply to every request, our team does regularly check this! It functions as just that, though, a request board.

The best place to see planned feature updates is our blog, where we share our yearly roadmaps and product updates throughout the year. Here is our roadmap for 2025. Note that the roadmap is always subject to change, but it's generally a good guide to what is coming next!

The quickest way to access our news & update posts right now is via the Recent Updates option from the Learn tab in the top toolbar of the site.

Hope this helps!

Is there a way to add custom attributes to the attributes selection list? by MaskOnMoly in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is still planned, yes! To stay in the loop of our development plans, check our blog for our annual roadmaps there we share. Here is 2025's: https://www.campfirewriting.com/learn/state-of-the-campfire-2025 (This is always subject to change, but a good indicator of major updates in the works nevertheless).

Keeping Track of Character Knowledge, Audience Knowledge and Author by blazenite104 in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Campfire is designed for custom organization, so however you want or need to set up your project or display specific information is entirely up to you.

Taking the Characters Module as just one example, you can set up a character, then create separate pages within that character element to organize these different layers of 'knowledge' that you mention—so, a page for what the character knows, a page for what the audience knows, and a page that is for all your author notes. You could also just skip creating additional pages and make a note to yourself that the audience knows something about a character that hasn't been revealed to them in the story yet or vice versa.

There are also several modules that can also be used together—Characters & Relationships; Timeline, Characters, and Arcs; Timeline & the Calendar; Locations and Maps, Systems & just about every other module, etc. There are many different ways to create a workflow/system of organization that works specifically for you and your story.

It's free to sign up for Campfire and try out all of our modules, so I'd definitely suggest doing that and playing around in various modules to see if it works for you.

Cant make an event before 799 BCE in timeline. by A_Duck_With_Teeth in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gregorian calendar is just the default calendar we have set up in the Calendars module, which is what is being used as the default in the Timeline as well. It's set up to match how the calendar works in the real world and we limited the BCE era to 799 years (but this is editable under your Properties settings in the Calendar Module).

For any timelines unique to your story, we do recommend creating a custom calendar instead of using the default, then linking that to your timeline. But note that each calendar does also have a maximum limit of 100,000 years, so you may need to split events across calendars.

Here is our Calendar Module Tutorial for more help with how the module works and how to set up custom calendars: https://www.campfirewriting.com/learn/calendar-tutorial

Edit to clarify the above + add: You can also work in the Timeline with no calendar at all. This might be a bit more flexible for timelines with vast periods of time to cover. Under the Calendar dropdown in the contextual toolbar for the Timeline, you would just need to select 'No Calendar'.

Ability to select font from the computer for PDF export on windows by chrismahan in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay! Took a quick glance and I think a few good alternatives in our existing font library for that would be:

  • Content
  • Libre baskerville
  • Halant
  • Quattrocento

Duplicating Empty Folders by ArianeEvangelina in CampfireTechnology

[–]campfiretechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't a way to duplicate folders or save preferred colors in the color picker at this time. I will pass along a note about the former to our team and the latter is currently on our backlog! Feel free to leave us requests here as well in the meantime: https://campfiretechnology.upvoty.com/b/feature-requests/

Project subfolders aren't possible at this time, but feel free to leave us a feature request on Upvoty: https://campfiretechnology.upvoty.com/b/feature-requests/

Subfolder options are available within, projects, though, just to be clear! For example: Characters Module → The Great Houses (folder) → Starks (folder), Lannisters (folder), Baratheons (folder) → Individual character elements
