Session Journal

Session journal

A session is one evening (or afternoon) of play. Sessions are ordered by their number and have a title and an optional real-world date. Two sessions of the same campaign cannot share a number.

Writing

The editor works with blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists, checklists, quotes, bold and italics. Type / to see every block type. A Markdown view is available too.

• [[ opens the link menu — see Codex and mentions.
• Every block has a stable identity, so search results, backlinks and item origins can open exactly the paragraph they come from.

Saving

• Notes save automatically about half a second after you stop typing. The status line says Saving…, Saved or shows an error.
• Save now forces a save; after an error, Chronexus retries and keeps your text in the editor — it never throws away what you typed.
• Changing session, campaign or closing the app waits for the save to finish.
• Only one copy of Chronexus can open the same archive at a time. If the same note was changed elsewhere, the older write is refused instead of overwriting the newer one.

Tip. If the computer loses power while you type, the last half-second may be lost. Wait for Saved before closing the lid on a long note.
