Uploading Documents: Overview by Tier
Subtxt users can upload documents into Conversations, with additional features available for Pro and Infinite tiers.
Feature | Basic | Pro | Infinite |
---|---|---|---|
Upload to Conversations | 1 file per conversation | Multiple files per conversation | Multiple files per conversation |
Upload to Stories | Not available | Available (5GB max storage) | Available (20GB max storage) |

Expanded Access for Infinite Users
When retrieving information from documents uploaded to Stories or Storyforms, Infinite users have access to 5x-8x the amount of information that Pro users can access. This allows Infinite users to unlock significantly deeper insights and context, making it ideal for more complex or expansive storytelling needs.
File Size Limit
- Individual File Limit: 512MB
Uploading Step-by-Step
For Conversations:
- Open Muse: Start by opening the Muse Workspace.
- Access the Upload Option: Click the circle with three dots next to the message box.
- Select 'Upload': Choose the 'Upload' option from the menu.
- Pick Your File(s): Select your document(s) from your device.
- Basic Users: Upload one file per conversation.
- Pro and Infinite Users: Upload multiple files per conversation.
- Ask Muse Questions: Once uploaded, you can ask Muse about your document. For example:
"What are the Four Throughlines in this story?"
For Stories and Storyforms (Pro and Infinite Users Only):
Pro and Infinite users can upload documents into Stories and Storyforms to provide foundational content that informs Muse’s responses across all related conversations.
Story Context:
- Purpose: Store key worldbuilding elements, such as character backstories, locations, or outlines.
- Scope: Available across all conversations and Storyforms connected to the Story.
Due to a current limitation with our third-party API service, access to Story documents from Storyform contexts is not available. We expect this functionality to be ready by Q1 2025. Until then, you'll need to add the documents you want to use in a Storyform directly to that Storyform, including any documents already uploaded to a Story.
Storyform Context:
- Purpose: Focused uploads for drafts, scene breakdowns, or structural analysis.
- Scope: Limited to the specific Storyform.
Important Note on Questions
For the best results, ask Muse specific, targeted questions about your narrative or structure. While Muse can respond to general questions, you’ll receive the most actionable insights by being direct.
Example prompts:
"How does the Relationship Story Throughline Catalyst and Inhibitor work in this draft?"
"What does this document reveal about the Influence Character Throughline?"
Managing Documents
Documents can be uploaded and managed within both the Muse and Develop Workspaces.
- In Muse Workspace:
- Select Documents while working within a Story or Storyform.
- Upload new files or manage existing ones (rename or delete).
- Muse will generate a title and summary for each uploaded file.
- In Develop Workspace:
- Access the Documents section below Overviews in the navigation bar.
- Review and manage documents related to your Stories or Storyforms.
Storage Limits by Tier
User Tier | Total Storage Limit |
---|---|
Basic | 1 active file per conversation |
Pro | 5GB |
Infinite | 20GB |
Automatic Document Search
Once uploaded, Muse will automatically search through these documents when:
- Answering questions
- Preparing responses
- Reviewing story elements
To make the most of this feature, you can help Muse understand what to focus on by:
- Referring to documents directly by their title or name as listed in the Documents section.
- Asking Muse to "look at the document I uploaded" when referencing specific content.
Muse has an extensive Narrative Matrix with a vast store of information, so being specific about which document you’re referencing—especially if they’re uploaded to the Story or Storyform rather than part of the current conversation—will significantly enhance its ability to provide accurate and targeted insights.
This allows Muse to provide deeper insights and eliminates the need to repeatedly remind it of key details in your story.
Privacy and Retention Policy
- Privacy: Uploaded files remain private and secure.
- Retention:
- Conversations: Documents uploaded to conversations expire 7 days after your last interaction.
- Stories and Storyforms: Documents uploaded to Stories or Storyforms are maintained for 30 days after your last interaction.
- Data Usage: Subtxt will never train on your uploaded material (there's no need to).
After the retention period, documents are permanently deleted from our system.
Muse and Storyform Context
When uploading documents into a Storyform context, Muse uses that Storyform's structural framework to analyze your work. This enables more focused and contextualized analysis.
Examples of how Muse can assist:
"Review my uploaded document against the current Storyform and list any inconsistencies."
"What areas of the story align with the Main Character Dynamics?"
"Do the Objective Story Throughline Storypoints appear as needed in this draft?"
Summary
Subtxt makes it easy to upload and manage documents, enhancing your creative process with informed insights. Basic users can upload single documents to conversations, while Pro and Infinite users can leverage additional storage and the ability to upload files into Stories and Storyforms for broader narrative development.
Maximize your storytelling with Subtxt’s tailored document integration tools.
