Series Folder - Tweaks/Upgrades
First, I love the series option. However, when I added books to the series, every minor character for all of the books showed up in my story bible.
Each book in my series usually switches between pov characters. While many characters remain the same, the world element often stays the same. It would be awesome if I could assign, like with a check mark, if each component were part of the entire series specific to each book, or even drag them into a list. This would allow me not to worry about minor characters, like annoying co-workers from the pov character in Book 1, from showing up in other books when their scope is limited to the book-specific plot, but still allowing the best friend & brother who are the POV characters in Book 2 to be transferred without the hassle.
Example:
Minor Character - Annoying Coworker - Entire Series, Book 1, Book 2, Book 3
POV Character - Entire Series
This should also be applied to world-building elements. Some settings are character-specific.

Would breaking it down a bit to having the ability to define where characters get used?
Project/Series Characters
Book Characters
Chapter Characters (Maybe even a mention of what chapters they are allowed in)
Possibly also do this with other world building?
Building or place gets destroyed in Book one is only book one
Space station is used through all books
And so on
Maybe also a small summary at the end of each to give a summary of the last things that happened to characters and places?

Yes! I agree. Love this series bible feature. It’s amazing.
For me (romance series):
Characters
Hero 1 - Book 1
Hero 2- Book 1
Supporting characters-2, 3, 4, etc
Supporting character 2 moves to book 2, and a new hero 2 joins the cast.
Also, the duplicating of characters in the series bible is overwhelming.
I hope I’m making sense.

I agree. Also it would be nice to assign the protagonist and antagonist for each book and it not carry over from previous books. I changed them when I started Book 2 but it automatically changed in Book 1 as well and my characters have different roles in my series.

I agree. We have a dropdown menu, add an activate/deactivate card option, and give us the same option on worldbuilding cards and other stuff as well.
