Autosave with conflict protection
Chapters save automatically. If the same chapter changed elsewhere, nothing is overwritten.
MANUSCRIPT MANAGEMENT
Manuscript management software for authors
Your manuscript is the most valuable thing in Gold Prints, so protecting it comes first. Work is saved as you type, and earlier versions are always kept.
What you can do
Version history
Every save keeps the previous text. Compare any version with the current chapter side by side, or restore it.
Comments and tasks
Leave comments on chapters, resolve them, and track editorial tasks with due dates.
Search the whole book
Find a name, place or phrase across every chapter.
Files and backups
Keep research files and attachments with the book, and download a complete backup whenever you want your own copy.
You own your work
Your manuscript stays yours. See our manuscript ownership policy.
How it works
- Create a book and add chapters.
- Write; everything saves as you go.
- Comment, compare versions and track tasks.
- Download a backup at any time.
