Output survey is blocking the topic output list

The 'how do you like your output' survey box is blocking a portion of the topic output generated at the bottom of the list. Kindly look into it. thanks

ASINs

The ASIN numbers under customer research should be able to be copied and pasted / saved. Once the information is entered it cannot be saved on the output or outside of the platform

2 Bugs in the Manuscript Generator

I have found 2 bugs that consistently show up when I generate a manuscript. The title of a chapter’s first subsection is often omitted from the manuscript, even though its content is included. I have to find the appropriate point and add it. The tool is inconsistent about including the subsection’s number on its title. See the image attached of my TOC, showing where it did and didn’t include the subsection numbers. Thanks, Ann

Social bias rearing its ugly head

Hi - I realize that removing a social bias of ageism in the AI program is going to be next to impossible, but I’m reporting on it anyway. The book I’m working on is a diet book for people over 60, and twice, Publishing.AI generated a book description that began with "Lose weight, even though you may think it's too late!” I think that would be incredibly offensive to someone over 60 as they have a good two decades to go before they have reason to think it’s “too late”. So, do with that what you will. Good luck! 😂

Publishing.ai tutorial

How about a brief tutorial on the mechanics of using Publishing.ai? Things like “How to delete an empty chapter heading” and dos and don’ts of cutting and pasting would be helpful. Things don’t work exactly like MS Word or even Google Docs, do they?

Customer Research Fine-Tuning

I am guessing you scrape the ASIN’s we provide for Negative book qualities to exclude and positive book qualities to include. At this time we can’t edit it. But it would be cool in the future if you could give us maybe 10 of each or something, and we get to select which negative book qualities to focus on excluding, etc. Maybe even number of times it comes up in reviews. That way, if we don’t agree about excluding a certain thing or including it, we can select that.

Table of Contents

1 - an accessible Table Of Contents (on the left side like the outline editor) having the ability to move chapters around while updating their references in order (for the reference section) if the chapters move within the book to a different location. Not having a TOC to view while making the book is like missing a map, a key element of organization. This software has already shown it can do this in the outline editor. The code is written. It just needs to be tweaked and dropped into the Manuscript Editor. If the company wants its software to be truly fantastic, it needs these elements. I would be done my book by now and happily have joined the subscription offer, had this major issue been addressed and included. But as it is, the software still requires work to bring it up to the greatness it aspires to be.

Darkmode?

Hey just a suggestion. I know you guys are busy implementing more important features, but would be kinda cool if you could have an optional dark mode for publishing.ai. Makes long hours of work more enjoyable. Thx

Add a process step after the manuscript is "approved" to create and edit a Table of Contents Section. If possible, then include a set of options to add after that such as

Highlighting

A highlighting tool would be very useful if you could incorporate that!

Make navigation easier.

I frequently get frustrated when trying to navigate all the various entry points into the product(s). Is it publishing.ai or is it app.publishing.ai or is it publishing.com or is it www.ai.publishing.com or is it ????? Who the heck knows? And by the time I find what I’m looking for, I’ve forgotten what I’m looking for. I’d love to have a single super entry point which will contain titles of, explanations of, and urls for each of the current entry points. Just a nice, simple LIST that is easy to scan quickly. Thank you

Ai video access.

I appreciate that publishing got AI works best on the desktop. That would be applicable if you are working on a manuscript and you need that screen space. Sometimes you just wanna watch a video or maybe just do topic research. Could those modules be optimized for cell phone use?it would be nice to listen or watch videos on your phone either refresh or catch up info without having to find a desktop.
