How do chapters work?
Split your book anywhere with chapter breaks, give chapters names, reorder them, and add whole new chapters from other conversations.
Chapters give a long conversation shape. A book about a decade of texts might have a chapter per year; a book about a relationship might break at the first date, the move, and the proposal.

To rearrange, click "Reorder chapters" and drag them into place.

To combine chapters, open the chapter menu and choose "Merge with previous" or "Merge with next".

To add a whole new conversation as its own chapter, click "Add new chapter" and upload another export. You can even import from another book you have already made.
Note: Chapter headers appear automatically once your book has two or more chapters. You can hide them under "Options" if you prefer a seamless flow.
