> Notion databases are not a manuscript. Typewriter keeps chapters, bible, and export on one author desk.

## Wiki vs book

Build world notes in Notion if you want; finish the book where Accept, outline, and EPUB live together.

## FAQ

### Can I link research?

Keep research beside the page on the desk; don’t replace the manuscript with a database.

### Should I move my whole wiki?

No. Keep Notion for research if you love it; put chapters and export on Typewriter.

### Does CoAuthor read Notion?

CoAuthor reads the open book and story bible on the Typewriter desk — paste or note what matters there.
