Projects, libraries & backups

One file or a folder

A project is either a single .ewriter file (a zip of the text-file layout — easy to copy, back up, or email) or a folder of text files (Markdown + JSON, diff-friendly under Git or Perforce). Create either from File ▸ New Project, and convert between them with Save As / Save as Folder. Double-clicking a .ewriter file opens it.

Shared universes

File ▸ Mounted Libraries attaches other projects as read-only or read/write libraries. Their entities, documents, maps, and events then resolve everywhere — auto-linking, the Relationships graph, the Timeline validator, search, and embeds all span the mounts. A read/write library's edits save back to it.

Safety

Easy Writer takes an automatic backup at the start of a session and on demand (File ▸ Back Up Project Now), keeps version history per document, and recovers an interrupted save. If a sync client or co-author changes files on disk, File ▸ Check for External Changes does a three-way merge and a per-file conflict resolver.
