Edit a story draft

Edit a story title and page captions, reorder pages, or add and delete pages before illustration.

Written by Radwa Hamed

Review the complete story draft before Nookly illustrates it. The current draft screen lets you edit the book title and page captions, reorder the story, and add or remove pages.


Before you edit

Read the entire draft once without changing anything. Check the plot, page order, child details, tone, reading level, private information, and whether each caption gives the illustration enough visual direction.

You can reach this screen after Nookly confirms that the plot and hero are ready. Select Review and edit captions.

Story draft before editing


Turn on page editing

  1. On the Refine [child’s name]’s story draft page, select Edit beside the page count.

  2. The page cards become editable and show page-management controls.

Edit a page caption

  1. Enter edit mode.

  2. Select the page card or its caption.

  3. Rewrite the text, keeping the action and visual scene clear.

  4. Review the neighboring pages so the transition still makes sense.

Each caption guides the illustration for that page. Include the people, action, setting, and meaningful object when they matter, but avoid stuffing every detail into one caption.

Reorder pages

In edit mode, drag a page card to its new position. Read the pages around it again to confirm the sequence, pronouns, and cause-and-effect still work.
