What is the Mystery board, and how do I open it?

BookyAI •1 min read •8 views •Updated Oct 3, 2026

The Mystery board, new in version 1.9.22, is a section of the Codex for mystery novels. It holds the case: the solution (sealed, so the AI never gives it away early), the suspects with their motives, opportunities and alibis, and every clue, red herring and misdirection in its chapter. In a book with the Mystery genre, open the Codex from the book's page and choose the Mystery tab. In any other novel, open the Codex and click "Has a mystery? Open the Mystery board" at the top. If your book is not a mystery after all, the link at the end of the board hides it again.

A book disappeared from my Library but I never deleted it. Is my work gone? A chapter ignores its outline beats and writes the events of the following chapters. What can I do? A chapter or section heading ends up as the last line of a page in my export. How do I fix it? A chapter repeats parts of the previous chapter. Why does this happen and is it fixed?
