Integrating Narrova with Subtxt ​

Narrova represents the next evolution of Subtxt Muse, crafted to be your personal storytelling companion. While we're busy developing the broader platform, you might enjoy using Narrova alongside Subtxt's Muse and Develop workspaces. Narrova takes everything you loved about Muse even further, offering richer interactions, more insightful prompts, and deeper narrative conversations.

To make the most out of this integration:

  1. Open Narrova in a Separate Tab or Window: Launch Narrova alongside your Subtxt workspace. Keeping both applications accessible simultaneously allows you to effortlessly switch between exploring ideas and refining them.
  2. Engage in Deep Conversations: Narrova excels as a dynamic, super-smart muse. Use it for brainstorming, refining plot points, exploring character motivations, or unraveling complex thematic elements. You'll quickly discover the depth and nuance Narrova brings to your narrative exploration.
  3. Seamlessly Transition Ideas: Once you've had a fruitful conversation in Narrova, simply copy your refined ideas and paste them directly into Subtxt. This smooth workflow ensures that when you're ready to solidify your narrative decisions, they're immediately captured and integrated into your structured story development process.

As we continue merging these platforms, the synergy between Narrova and Subtxt will become even more seamless, enhancing your storytelling experience with every interaction.

Here’s a clean Narrova Documentation–ready version of those instructions, written in the same style as typical help content:

Importing and Exporting Stories Between Subtxt and Narrova ​

Narrova makes it easy to bring your existing story work from Subtxt into the new platform so you can continue building, refining, and exploring your narrative. While direct round-trip syncing isn’t available yet, the steps below will guide you through importing from Subtxt, working with your Storyform in Narrova, and understanding current export limitations.

Importing a Complete Story from Subtxt ​

If you have a full or partial story started in Subtxt, you can import it into Narrova for continued development:

  1. In Subtxt:

    • Go to Downloads for the story you want to use.
    • Download the Complete Story file.

  2. In Narrova:

    • Create a New Story.
    • Upload the Complete Story file you downloaded from Subtxt.
    • Your story’s context and details will now be available for use in Narrova.

Importing a Storyform Only ​

If you prefer to work only with the structural framework of your story (without the complete text), provide Narrova with the following key parts of your Storyform:

  • MC Resolve
  • MC Problem-solving Style
  • Story Driver
  • Story Limit
  • Story Outcome
  • Story Judgment
  • MC Domain
  • OS Domain
  • MC Pivotal Element

Once these are set, Narrova can:

  • Validate the Storyform.
  • Save it to your account.
  • Attach it to your active story project.

Exporting from Narrova Back to Subtxt ​

At present, exporting from Narrova back into Subtxt is not fully supported. If you need to move your work in that direction, we recommend waiting until the upcoming unified platform release, which will allow seamless movement between Narrova and Subtxt, along with full access to deep storyform exploration tools.
