60-second summary
Quick answer
Generate the outline from a specific brief, check that every chapter has a distinct job, edit weak headings, and continue only after the sequence moves logically from problem to outcome.
Before you start
What you need
- Enter a Book Title / Topic and any relevant Advanced Settings.
- If using Create Custom Outline, provide at least 50 characters of structural direction.
Procedure
Complete the task step by step
- 01
Enter a specific brief
Include the reader, outcome, scope and exclusions before asking for an outline.
Current app screen
The outline is generated from the title, brief, format and advanced choices shown on this screen. - 02
Generate the outline
Wait for the chapter list to finish instead of submitting the same request twice.
- 03
Check progression
Confirm chapters move from foundations to application without duplication.
- 04
Edit weak headings
Replace vague chapter names with a clear promise or task.
- 05
Continue only when ready
A strong outline reduces duplicated content and expensive rewrites later.
Success check
Confirm that it worked
- The outline editor displays editable chapters and subchapters.
- After duplicate or weak headings are corrected, “Generate Book” is available to start writing the approved outline.
Important notes
- The outline editor supports adding, editing, and deleting chapters or subchapters before generation.
- “Generate Book” begins the writing stage; finish structural review before using it.
Troubleshooting
If it still does not work
The editor reports “Invalid Outline Format”
Use the offered recovery option: go back and regenerate, request fewer chapters, or use the default outline.
