Not every file has the same status — files inside "Chapters" are manuscript, files inside "Notes" are reference. They're treated differently.

Tag a file as manuscript vs reference
Two ways:
1 · By folder (automatic)
- In "Chapters" → manuscript
- In "Notes" → reference
90% of the time, enough.
2 · Manual override
Right-click a file → "Mark as manuscript / reference" — works in any folder.
E.g. you want an "Appendix" inside Notes but counted in word total → mark as "manuscript."
How the AI uses each
When you ask the Coach:
- Manuscript = "the thing to analyse / revise / suggest on"
- Reference = "background knowledge"
If you ask "smooth out this paragraph", the Coach:
- Primary = the passage you selected (manuscript)
- Context = other passages in the same chapter (manuscript) + other chapters (manuscript)
- Background = characters / worldbuilding / spec in notes
The Coach never treats notes as "the thing to revise."
Custom folders — manuscript or reference?
When you create a new folder, Slima asks: "Default type for this folder — manuscript or reference?"
Change later: right-click folder → "Default type."
