Deleted Notes Come Back, Task Board Dates Reach The Calendar, And Long Manuscripts Move Smoothly -- Plotiar Product Updates (October 2026)

A writer deleted a note she no longer needed, then wanted it back an hour later. It was gone. Not in the Trash, not anywhere. Another writer made a new note and stared at an empty panel until she reloaded the page, at which point it appeared as if it had been there all along.

Nothing in either story was dramatic. They were small betrayals, the kind that make you stop trusting a tool a little. Most of this week's work goes at exactly that: the places where Plotiar did something slightly different from what you'd reasonably expect.

Deleted Notes And Tasks Can Come Back

Notes, tasks, bookmarks and comment threads that you delete now land in Trash, where you can restore them, the same as chapters and other content always could. Related to that, a note you create now appears in the Notes panel straight away, with no reload needed, and content made from a template shows up in your sidebar the moment it is created. Built-in template cards also stopped showing a "last synced" date that meant nothing to anyone.

Task Board Cards Finally Reach The Calendar

If you give a Task Board card a due date, it now shows up on the standard calendar, which was the whole point of giving it one. Click that card in the calendar and you land on its board rather than the generic Tasks panel. Family trees got a similar fix: a person you have linked to a Lore entry now opens that entry, instead of an empty document page, and importing people from Lore links each one to the right entry.

Long Manuscripts Open And Scroll Smoothly

This one is for the people with the 200,000-word draft. A very large document is now laid out in slices as it opens, so the page responds sooner instead of freezing while everything is measured at once. Word counts in the status bar update without making the editor stall, scrolling with a mouse wheel is lighter, and a collaborator's cursor moving around your document no longer forces the whole page to repaint on every frame. Screen-reader users get the same gains, since the reading layer is built in pieces and only covers what is on screen.

Editing Behaves Itself In More Corners

A pile of small editor fixes, each one a moment that used to make a writer wince:

1. Korean typing on Gboard composes whole syllables again.
2. Pressing Enter or finishing a word no longer drags a link, comment or suggestion onto the new text you type next.
3. Gliding or tapping a word over a selection replaces it exactly, with no stray space.
4. An emptied paragraph keeps its font when a collaborator's changes arrive.
5. Undoing after a redo of a formatted paste no longer deletes the paragraph it went into, and undoing a table inserted before you placed a caret no longer strands your cursor.
6. Typing over a selection that runs from a code block into a table keeps the character you typed.

Tracked changes are also credited to your profile name now, not your login email or "Anonymous."

Inspect Gives Feedback, Not Rewrites

For Pro writers, AI Inspect now responds to your prose with feedback notes on what is working and what is not, and leaves the sentences themselves alone. Your words stay yours. The Lore consistency check is more honest too: when it had no entries to check, it used to say "no issues found," and now it says that nothing was checked. And when you start a Pro project from a premise, the planning documents it creates come with scaffolds in your language to fill in, still leaving the writing to you.

Smaller Things Worth A Line

New accounts now follow your browser's language instead of defaulting to English. Free users who open Analyze are pointed to Plus, the plan that actually includes it, and Brainstorm shows a Pro badge on the projects page. The best-streak line in Goals speaks your language, template placeholders keep their opening bracket, and signed-out visitors can read the legal pages again.

The next time something looks almost right, tell us. Those are the ones we like to chase.
