Your First Universe

Your First Universe

A Universe is your top-level project in DasBook. Think of it as a container for everything related to one story world — your books, characters, research, timelines, and world-building rules.

Creating a Universe

1. Click the + Universe button in the left sidebar
2. Type a name (e.g., "My Fantasy Novel" or "Summer Mystery")
3. Press Enter

That's it. You now have a blank workspace ready for your story.

What Goes Inside a Universe

Every universe can contain:

Item	What It's For
Books	The main container for your manuscript. A book holds chapters.
Chapters	Sections of your book. Each chapter holds scenes.
Scenes	The building blocks of your story. This is where you write.
Characters	Profiles for the people (or creatures) in your story.
Timelines	Track when things happen in your story's world.
Research	Notes, references, and source material.
Documents	Anything else — outlines, brainstorms, scratch notes.

Switching Between Universes

Use the dropdown at the top of the Binder panel to switch between universes. Each universe keeps its own separate content, AI rules, and codex.

Tips

• Start with one universe per story world. If you're writing a series, all the books in that series can live in the same universe.
• You can have as many universes as you want — they don't interfere with each other.
• Each universe has its own AI rules and Codex, so the AI learns the specific rules of each world.
