> The bible is not a second app. It sits next to the chapter so you — and CoAuthor — remember what you already promised the reader.

## Why it matters past 40k words

Chat threads forget. A bible on the desk does not. Update notes as the draft grows.

## FAQ

### Is the bible required?

No, but CoAuthor is sharper when notes exist.

### Where does the bible live?

Beside the chapter on the Typewriter desk — not a second wiki app you forget to open.

### Does CoAuthor read the bible?

Yes — it uses notes you keep on the desk so names and rules hold across chapters.
