## Add notes directly

Use the note input when the material already lives in your clipboard, a notes app, or a rough draft. Keep headings and lists when they carry meaning; Scribora does not require polished prose.

1. **Open the project** — Go to the Gather phase of the ebook workflow.
2. **Add a note** — Paste the source text and give it a useful label so you can recognise it later.
3. **Repeat by topic** — Several focused notes are easier to inspect than one enormous dump.
4. **Analyze** — Build the project knowledge base after the useful source set is in place.

## Do not pre-write the book for the model

You do not need to turn every note into polished paragraphs before importing it. The point of Scribora is to organise and transform source material into a coherent book.

## What the Add Knowledge form stores

Your Notes → Add opens the Add Knowledge dialog. A note needs a title and at least 10 characters of content; the title is capped at 500 characters. Category is optional.

- Problem: pain points the audience faces.
- Solution: ways to solve a problem.
- Tip: practical advice.
- Story: a real example or anecdote.
- Resource: a tool, link, or reference.

> The category helps organize the source, but the note body is the material the analysis has to work with.
