Uploading Documents

Muse offers a seamless experience for uploading various types of documents to assist in your storytelling process, whether for feedback, insights, or detailed worldbuilding. Uploaded documents can serve as a foundation for your creative work, helping Muse provide richer, more informed responses.

Supported File Formats

You can upload a wide range of file formats into Muse, with no restrictions based on account tiers:

• .docx - application/office/word-processing
• .md - text/markdown
• .pdf - application/pdf
• .txt - text/plain

Uploading Step-by-Step

1. Open Muse: Begin by opening the Muse Workspace.
2. Access the Muse Extension Menu: Click on the circle with the three dots located to the left of the message box.
3. Select 'Upload': Choose the 'Upload' option from the context menu.
4. Pick Your File: Select the document you wish to upload from your device.
   • File Size Limit: Individual uploads are limited to 512MB.
   • Storage Limits:

   	Subtxt	Subtxt Pro	Subtxt Infinite
   Total Storage	2GB	5GB	10GB

5. Ask Away: Once your document is uploaded, feel free to ask Muse anything. For example:

   "What seem to be the Four Throughlines of this story?"

   "Can you help me build a Storyform for this latest draft?"

   "Is this story driven by Actions or by Decisions?"

Uploading Documents into Stories and Storyforms

In addition to adding documents directly to conversations, documents can be uploaded into two different global contexts: Stories and Storyforms.

Story Context

• Documents uploaded to a Story are available throughout all conversations and Storyforms connected to that Story.
• This is an excellent place to store key "worldbuilding" content, such as:
  • Character backstories
  • Location descriptions
  • Synopses or outlines

Muse and Subtxt will automatically consider this information when answering questions or preparing responses, saving you the need to constantly reintroduce foundational details of your story.

Storyform Context

• Documents uploaded to a Storyform are only accessible within that specific Storyform’s context.
• Use this option for drafts, scene breakdowns, or specific text you want Muse to analyze within a focused structural framework.

Upload and Manage Documents

You can easily upload and manage documents in both contexts:

1. Muse Workspace
   • While working in a Story or Storyform, select the Documents option from the Workspace.
   • Upload new documents or manage existing ones (rename or delete as needed).
   • Muse will generate a convenient title and summary of each document upon upload for easy reference, alongside the original filename.
2. Develop Workspace
   • Documents can also be uploaded and managed in the Develop Workspace, located just below Overviews in the navigation bar.

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.

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?"

Privacy and Retention Policy

Your uploads remain private and secure. Subtxt will NEVER train on your uploaded material. Uploaded documents are stored temporarily and automatically expire 7 days after your last interaction. Once expired, documents are permanently deleted from our system.

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?"

Summary

Whether you're uploading documents for worldbuilding, detailed scene analysis, or general feedback, Subtxt's Muse provides powerful tools to enrich your creative process. Uploaded documents are automatically considered in responses, helping you build more coherent, compelling stories.

With Story and Storyform-specific uploads, you can manage foundational text for entire stories or focus Muse’s attention on specific drafts. Explore these features to maximize insights and bring your story to life.
