How do you manage changes to characters and world building over time?

FeedbackWeb app

When writing a series characters and things evolve over time. I don’t think the story bible support this in any good way. I have tested some different alternatives, like creating several character entries, like “John Smith - Servant”, “John Smith - Millionaire”, but found that the AI can be confused by this. I have also considered not using the series feature att all.

The way I do it know is that I build my own story bible system outside Sudowrite and import any changes for each new story depending where in the timeline it take place. It works but has its drawbacks.

I am curious to know how you handle this?

    It's a good idea to create separate character/environment cards for each version with changes. You can use the show/hide button (the small eye icon that appears when you hover over the character's name)

    That way, when you're writing about John Smith Millionaire, you can hide John Smith Servant, and it avoids the AI getting confused.

    Updating your Story bible as you go is a good practice as well!
