Editing a generated book by hand

Knowledge Base / Getting Started /Editing a generated book by hand

A book made with Quick Mode, auto-generate or Advanced Mode is never locked. Everything the AI made is yours to rewrite, reorder, regenerate or delete by hand in the editor.

Opening your generated book

  • Right after generation, BookZeta drops you straight into the editor for that project.
  • Later, open it from your Writer dashboard — click the project (the button reads Open Writer Studio or Open Graphic Editor). BookZeta loads its chapters or pages, and its cover, into the editor so you can pick up where the AI left off.

Which editor opens

Writer and Graphic mode aren't two views of the same book — they're built for fundamentally different kinds of work, so the editor is set by the format you chose, not picked each time:

  • Writer editor is for text — prose you type and format into chapters. Used for books, novels and short stories.
  • Graphic editor is an illustration-first canvas — used for comics, webtoons, graphic novels and children's books. Every page is a full-page illustration, and any words live as editable text layers on the canvas (speech bubbles, captions, titles) rather than flowing prose.

Because they're different workspaces with different content, a text novel can't be opened in the Graphic editor, and an illustrated comic or children's book can't be opened in the Writer editor. Choose the format that matches the kind of book you're making when you create it — that's what decides the editor.

What you can change by hand

Once it's open, edit anything — manual editing never costs Creation Points:

If you'd like to experiment without touching your main version, create an alternate draft and rework that copy instead — then merge it back if you like it.
