Welcome to a complete guide to the new00:00:02
articles and world manager. This is an00:00:04
updated version of the articles and00:00:06
categories interface on World Anvil. And00:00:08
in this video, I'm going to show you00:00:09
where everything is on the interface, as00:00:11
well as some more hidden advanced00:00:12
features you may have missed. Use the00:00:15
chapters in this video to jump to a00:00:16
specific topic. You can speed up or slow00:00:19
down this video in YouTube settings.00:00:21
Just a note before we kick off, World00:00:23
Anvil is a living software, and we're00:00:25
always listening to your feedback and00:00:27
improving. So small details may now be00:00:29
different from what you see here on this00:00:31
video. For the most updated information,00:00:33
always reference the written guide in00:00:36
our learn section. You can find that00:00:38
right here on the articles and world00:00:39
manager interface at any time. You can00:00:42
access the articles and world manager by00:00:44
clicking this nested folders icon on the00:00:46
left menu. When the articles and world00:00:48
manager first opens, you'll see your00:00:50
world homepage editable here on the00:00:52
right. on the left. By default, you'll00:00:55
see your tree of categories and the00:00:57
articles organized inside them. Click on00:01:00
an article or category to edit it in the00:01:02
main part of the page. If you want to go00:01:04
back to managing your world homepage,00:01:06
click the title of your world. It's at00:01:07
the top of the left column with the00:01:09
globe beside it. Click on the chevron to00:01:12
expand a category and see the categories00:01:14
and articles nested beneath it.00:01:16
When you mouse over your articles or00:01:18
categories and click this three dots00:01:20
menu, you can copy a mention link or an00:01:22
article block link which you can paste00:01:24
anywhere into World Anvil. You can also00:01:27
copy the presentation mode URL from00:01:29
here.00:01:30
You can collapse this left sidebar using00:01:32
the chevron icon that allows you to work00:01:35
on your articles, categories, or world00:01:37
management in full screen. When you want00:01:39
it back, just click the reverse chevron00:01:41
like this.00:01:43
You can also drag the bar to resize it.00:01:45
Remember, you can also expand or00:01:47
collapse your left side menu for a00:01:50
completely full screen experience.00:01:53
You can customize which content appears00:01:55
on this left sidebar from the drop down.00:01:58
There are lots of options, most of them00:01:59
self-explanatory, but I'll unpack them00:02:01
later in this video, too. Tree is the00:02:04
default view. It shows your categories00:02:06
with your articles nested beneath them,00:02:08
as in your table of contents.00:02:11
But you can choose a different default00:02:13
list by clicking this pin icon now every00:02:16
time you open the articles and world00:02:17
manager. This is what you'll see00:02:19
instead. Maybe you prefer to start a00:02:21
world building session with recently00:02:22
updated articles. Or you'd rather start00:02:24
with only your categories to have a00:02:26
clear overview of your world. Different00:02:29
worldbuilders have different priorities,00:02:31
which is why we've made this00:02:32
customizable. You can choose what works00:02:34
best for you. You can toggle on state00:02:37
indicators from the three dot menu00:02:38
beside your world's name here. that00:02:41
allows you to see and edit if your00:02:42
content is published or draft and public00:02:44
or private.00:02:46
If you've enabled work in progress as a00:02:48
state, you'll see that here too. Just00:02:50
click an icon to toggle its state.00:02:53
To create a new article, click plus00:02:56
article here at the bottom left. You can00:02:58
also use the plus hammer button at the00:03:00
bottom right like everywhere on World00:03:02
Anvil.00:03:03
Select your article template and the00:03:05
article will open and autosave.00:03:08
To create a new category, click the gray00:03:10
plus category button. To reorganize your00:03:13
world tree, click and hold on your00:03:15
categories or articles, and you'll be00:03:16
able to drag and drop everything into00:03:18
place.00:03:20
And that's the basic overview. The rest00:03:22
of this video dives into the details and00:03:24
advanced features of this interface. But00:03:26
if you're brand new to World Anvil, I do00:03:28
recommend following our get started00:03:30
course of short video tutorials first.00:03:33
You can find those linked in the00:03:34
description of this video.00:03:36
So now let's start with advanced article00:03:39
creation. If you want to create a new00:03:41
article inside a category, simply mouse00:03:44
over the category and click this plus00:03:46
button. You can also create a new00:03:49
article nested beneath a pre-existing00:03:51
one. Hover over the parent article here00:03:53
and click the plus icon. Your new00:03:55
article will appear nested beneath it.00:03:58
And you can do the same thing with00:04:00
category creation. Hover over a category00:04:02
and click this folder button with a plus00:04:04
inside to create a new category nested00:04:07
beneath the first. Once you create an00:04:09
article, you'll see the pre-selected00:04:11
prompts. You can add more or remove00:04:12
these with a plus prompts button. Just00:04:14
toggle the sliders for the ones you00:04:16
want.00:04:18
The description appears here on mouse00:04:19
over so you can learn more about each00:04:21
prompt and where it'll appear on your00:04:23
article. Once a prompt is added, select00:04:26
it to see more additional subprompts00:04:28
that help inspire more world building.00:04:30
You can also click add all prompts to00:04:33
add every available prompt to your00:04:34
article template.00:04:36
If you really like the prompts and you00:04:38
always want to see all the prompts on00:04:40
every article you create, you can switch00:04:42
this on. Click your profile icon in the00:04:45
top right, then select features from the00:04:47
menu. Scroll down and click article00:04:50
expanded prompts to enable. Just a note00:04:53
that this setting may cause some00:04:55
slowness on less powerful devices or00:04:57
with slower internet speeds. For me,00:04:59
it's fine on my laptop, but slow on my00:05:01
very old junky phone. If you're always00:05:04
seeing all the prompts by default, even00:05:06
when you turn them off using the slider,00:05:08
you probably have this article expanded00:05:10
prompt setting enabled. Follow the same00:05:12
method. Click your profile icon, then00:05:14
features, and disable it. And while00:05:17
we're in features, there are two other00:05:19
settings related to the articles and00:05:21
world manager, which might be useful to00:05:22
you.00:05:24
Disable animations will remove all the00:05:26
animations from the website's interface.00:05:29
WIP stands for work in progress. If you00:05:32
like, click here to enable this so you00:05:35
can keep track of which articles you're00:05:36
still working on and which are done.00:05:40
Once enabled, you can toggle articles00:05:42
between work in progress, an open00:05:44
checkbox, and done, a tick next to your00:05:46
article's title. You can also do it from00:05:48
the left sidebar if you have state00:05:50
indicators toggled on. Just a note that00:05:52
for some worldbuilders like me, articles00:05:55
are never finished. So only enable this00:05:57
if you have an actual workflow plan for00:05:59
it. Otherwise, it'll drive you bummy.00:06:02
Now, let's explore more options for00:06:03
editing your articles in the articles00:06:05
and world manager. As well as adding00:06:07
prompts, you can write your articles00:06:09
with all the normal slash commands in00:06:11
the visual editor or BD code in the00:06:13
advanced editor. You can write and edit00:06:15
your storytellers notes from here at the00:06:17
top. Perfect for keeping track of the00:06:19
shenanigans your players got up to with00:06:21
this character or in this location.00:06:24
With the visual editor active, you can00:06:26
view your image library by typing /image00:06:28
and clicking this option. Browse and00:06:31
search your images or upload a new one.00:06:33
In the advanced editor, click the image00:06:35
button to see your images and choose one00:06:37
to embed. You can add a title icon to00:06:40
your article and even select duo tone00:06:42
icons. That's new and they look so cool.00:06:45
And yes, space cat obviously is not my00:06:47
favorite. You can also remove the icon00:06:49
entirely. Just click the trash can icon00:06:51
here. Use these back and next buttons up00:06:55
here in the top right to navigate00:06:57
between articles you've recently edited.00:07:00
To add subscriber groups to your article00:07:01
or category, remember to make it private00:07:03
first. Then just click the subscriber00:07:05
groups icon.00:07:07
At the bottom of your article under00:07:09
articles and secrets, you can see00:07:11
secrets attached to your article and00:07:13
create new attached secrets using the00:07:15
green plus button. You can also see00:07:17
articles nested beneath this article.00:07:19
For example, a tavern's seasonal menu00:07:21
articles might be nested underneath the00:07:23
tav article to keep things organized.00:07:26
Down here in the toolbar, you can again00:07:28
copy your article's URL mention or00:07:30
article block. In styling, you can add00:07:32
an excerpt or a mouseover snippet.00:07:36
You can also add article specific CSS00:07:38
here. Under settings, you can toggle not00:07:41
safe for work. Please do this if you're00:07:43
writing spicy or gruesome articles as00:07:45
per our community etiquette guide. Under00:07:48
advanced options, you can choose if and00:07:50
how your article displays on your table00:07:51
of contents on your world's homepage.00:07:54
You can make your article copyable.00:07:56
There's more information about that00:07:57
here. And you can add previous and next00:08:00
articles to help your readers navigate00:08:02
in a linear fashion through your world.00:08:04
If you want to change text editor, you00:08:06
can do that under here too. And most00:08:08
importantly, you can access the feature00:08:10
guide to articles and the guide to the00:08:12
active article template from the00:08:14
question mark on the toolbar.00:08:16
To rearrange your articles, click and00:08:18
hold an article on the left side and it00:08:20
will become dragable. Then just drag it00:08:22
into the category you want it to appear00:08:24
in. You can also click on a category,00:08:26
then use the drag handle here to drag00:08:28
your article into another category on00:08:30
the left. If your world is very big with00:08:33
loads of articles and categories, you00:08:35
might want to select only categories00:08:37
from the list to give you a clearer view00:08:38
of your categories.00:08:41
Finally, select an article or category.00:08:43
And above the title, click move to to00:08:45
choose a new location for it. This last00:08:48
method is recommended on tablets and00:08:49
mobiles with smaller screens where drag00:08:51
and drop is not as comfortable.00:08:54
For those of you with a million words in00:08:56
your world, and yes, I know you're out00:08:57
there, this method might be the most00:08:59
convenient for you. By default, your00:09:01
articles will appear inside your00:09:03
category in alphabetical order. If you00:09:05
want to reorder them, select your00:09:07
category, then use these drag handles to00:09:09
reorganize your articles. Click save00:09:11
order to confirm you're happy with your00:09:13
changes.00:09:15
Okay, now we've covered the basics.00:09:17
Let's talk about the advanced00:09:18
functionality that's available on the00:09:20
articles and world manager. Because the00:09:22
left sidebar has a bunch of nifty new00:09:23
features. Click the three dots menu next00:09:26
to your world name and you'll be able to00:09:28
toggle the state indicators on and off.00:09:30
You can refresh your left sidebar from00:09:32
here. Having multiple windows open can00:09:34
desync your interface. So this refresh00:09:37
will fix it. If you've been on a deep00:09:39
dive into your article tree, you might00:09:41
have lots of categories open. Click00:09:43
collapse all in the sidebar to start00:09:45
fresh. World Anvil has a powerful global00:09:47
search you can trigger using controll K.00:09:50
This works across world anvil, not just00:09:52
in the articles and world manager. You00:09:55
can use the search while the articles00:09:56
and world manager is open. In that case,00:09:59
your selected article or category will00:10:01
open in the manager. If you prefer to00:10:03
open it in a model above the articles00:10:05
and world manager, use this option. If00:10:08
you're elsewhere on the website, for00:10:10
example, editing a map or a timeline,00:10:12
your articles from search will00:10:14
automatically open in a model window00:10:16
above what you've been working on. Once00:10:18
you're done with your article, you can00:10:20
go back to editing what you're working00:10:21
on before. Of course, sometimes you need00:10:24
more than just a search. To do a deep00:10:27
dive into your articles, click this00:10:28
filter icon to reveal a host more filter00:10:31
options. You can filter your search by00:10:33
public or private or both, draft or00:10:36
published or both, by tags, by00:10:38
subscriber groups, by word count, by00:10:40
entity type, article template type, or00:10:43
even whether or not your articles have00:10:44
storyteller notes in them. Why is this00:10:47
cool? Well, if you're looking for00:10:49
something specific, like only articles00:10:51
with storyteller seeds that are above00:10:53
300 words, it's now quicker to find00:10:55
them. Or perhaps you want an overview of00:10:57
all draft characters under 30 words to00:11:00
see which NPC needs more development.00:11:03
With extra filtering power, you can00:11:04
spend less time finding what you need00:11:06
and more time world building.00:11:09
As well as other filters, you can filter00:11:11
your searches by subscriber group to00:11:13
drill down into exactly what your00:11:15
different subscriber groups can see.00:11:17
That's useful if you're using subscriber00:11:18
groups as one of your filtering00:11:20
criteria. But we've also introduced a00:11:23
much requested new feature, view as in00:11:28
the collection of lists in this00:11:29
dropdown. View as allows you to see your00:11:32
articles and categories tree as a00:11:34
specific user can. You can get an00:11:37
overview of what a specific player has00:11:39
access to or which Patreons can see00:11:41
which in your collection of magic items.00:11:44
Every article or category that appears00:11:46
in white is visible to them. The grayed00:11:48
out ones are not. Let's go through the00:11:51
rest of these lists. These icons here00:11:54
tell you more about the kind of list.00:11:56
Nested folders shows us your categories00:11:58
and articles tree. Bulleted list shows00:12:01
us a simple list of your entities. If00:12:03
you're doing a cleanup of your world,00:12:04
uncatategorized articles will create a00:12:07
list of all those articles that aren't00:12:09
in categories yet. Untagged articles00:12:12
shows you the articles and categories00:12:13
tree with your untagged entities shown00:12:15
in white. This makes it quick to find,00:12:18
tag, and bag disorganized entities in00:12:20
your world. Game masters can select00:12:22
articles with storyteller notes to00:12:24
quickly see all the articles you've00:12:26
annotated with RPG ideas like things you00:12:28
foreshadowed, plot hooks, or just a00:12:31
record of the crazy things the players00:12:32
did when they visited this location. If00:12:34
you want to continue working, the00:12:36
recently updated and recently created00:12:38
lists are great for this. But also00:12:41
consider the stub articles list. This00:12:43
shows you all your articles under 5000:12:45
words. Of course, not all stubs need to00:12:49
become full articles in your world. You00:12:51
might not need more than a few bullet00:12:53
points about your tavern keeper or the00:12:55
queen's second cousin, but stub articles00:12:57
can be opportunities to enrich your00:12:59
world building by expanding elements00:13:01
you've already established. Once you're00:13:04
familiar with these, I recommend you00:13:05
explore the other lists here, too, and00:13:07
find your favorite workflows. Now, let's00:13:10
talk about managing your world's00:13:11
homepage. A major change to this00:13:13
interface is the ability to manage your00:13:15
world homepage visually. It now looks00:13:18
much more like the presentation mode,00:13:19
making it easier to figure out what goes00:13:21
where. You can also manage a lot more00:13:24
than you could before, and it's easier00:13:25
than ever to hide or show content as you00:13:28
wish. Click here to change your world00:13:29
name. Remember that your world name also00:13:31
affects your world URL and the00:13:33
presentation URLs of all your articles00:13:35
and categories. If you want to add a00:13:37
subtitle, you can do that in settings00:13:39
and advanced options. By default, your00:13:42
username and those of your co-authors00:13:44
will appear beneath the title of your00:13:45
world homepage. If you want to override00:13:48
that, use world credits override, which00:13:50
you could find in settings, then00:13:52
advanced options.00:13:54
Click here to set or update your world's00:13:56
global current date, the present day00:13:59
time of your world. You can also00:14:01
override the date with a custom display00:14:03
date, for example, the age of man or the00:14:06
age of Aquarius. Under global era00:14:08
settings, you can set names for your00:14:10
global eras before and after year zero.00:14:13
This essentially sets up a BCE style00:14:17
time management system like the western00:14:19
calendar uses. This is very common in00:14:21
world building as a way to simplify time00:14:23
before and after the year zero. You can00:14:25
also add your own abbreviations and00:14:27
names here and they will persist00:14:28
throughout your world setting. This blue00:14:31
bar here shows your world's word count00:14:33
goal. Click on it to update your goal00:14:35
manually or use these buttons. You can00:14:37
also disable your word count by clicking00:14:39

on the interface. You can write and edit00:14:49
your world's introduction here. A world00:14:51
introduction doesn't have to be00:14:52
complicated, but it should set the tone00:14:54
for your visitors. If you want to master00:14:56
world introductions, I recommend00:14:58
following our guide on how to write00:14:59
elevator pictures for your world00:15:01
setting. You'll find that linked in the00:15:02
description and it should be appearing00:15:04

this tag symbol to add tags to your00:15:07

for your readers and also help others00:15:11
discover your world. You can also add00:15:14
genres to your world. To do that, click00:15:16

by genre. And if you're creating a world00:15:26
for a tabletop RPG, you can add a game00:15:28
system to your world. Click settings,00:15:31

templates to you as you create. You can00:15:41
still use other stat blocks and systems00:15:43

custom fields allow you to add more00:15:47
content to the top of your homepage00:15:49

introduction articles, and character00:15:56
creation guides, or your manuscripts00:15:58
with teaser chapters of your novel to00:16:00
get your readers hooked. You can add all00:16:02
of these using the /men if your world00:16:04
uses the visual editor, or using BB code00:16:06
commands in the advanced editor. By the00:16:08
way, I've linked the guide to BB code in00:16:10
the description of this video, and it00:16:12
contains full instructions on embedding00:16:13
all kinds of content. Beneath the custom00:16:15
fields are the rest of your00:16:16
worldbuilding content. your articles00:16:18
nested in categories that form your00:16:20
table of contents, your maps and00:16:22
timelines, your discussion boards, how00:16:24
many followers your world has and what00:16:25
they're called, and everything else. You00:16:28
can move these blocks around into00:16:30
different columns using the left and00:16:32
right move arrows. You can remove each00:16:34
individual block from appearing on your00:16:36
homepage by clicking the eye icon. And00:16:38

your world's content, and the World00:16:57
Anvil community social features for your00:16:59

tips. If not, just toggle it off. If you00:17:10

headers on to quickly style your world.00:17:16
You can change the world cover image00:17:18

to choose a new image. You can also00:17:23
choose from our default images or click00:17:25
styling to edit your world's cover,00:17:28
global article cover. That's the default00:17:30
image that appears on top of all your00:17:31
articles and your page background. I put00:17:33
a nice map image on mine. You can also00:17:36
activate white labeling from here if00:17:38
you're a sage tier user or above. To00:17:40
change the visual theme of your world,00:17:42

theme.00:17:51
For now, if you're using CSS to style00:17:53
your world, you'll need to go to00:17:54
styling, then click advanced settings00:17:56
and use the old interface for that.00:17:58
Remember to click save changes once00:18:00
you're done. To set your whole world to00:18:02
private on World Anvil, go to settings,00:18:04
then click this privacy slider. This00:18:06
makes your world private from everyone00:18:08
except your subscribers and co-authors00:18:10
you've specifically given access to. You00:18:13
can also make sure all your articles00:18:14
start as private by default by clicking00:18:16
the article forced privacy state slider00:18:18
to yes. If you're collaborating with00:18:21
others, like co-authoring a novel or00:18:23
co-deming campaign, you might want to00:18:25
share your secrets with your00:18:26
co-creators. Click open secrets to yes00:18:29
if you want to share or no if you'd00:18:31
rather hide them on World Anvil. Your00:18:34
very first world is automatically00:18:35
created in the visual editor. This is00:18:38
our most streamlined editor and we00:18:39
recommend it for beginners, but if you00:18:42
created your world before October 2024,00:18:45
it may be using one of the unsupported00:18:47
legacy editors. We recommend you switch00:18:50
either to the new visual editor, Blue00:18:51
Plutarch, or if you want to use BBcode00:18:54
for advanced formatting, switch to the00:18:55
advanced editor, Uklit. If you want to00:18:58
delete your world, you can do that here00:19:00
in world settings, too. Type the name of00:19:02
your world in this text field. If the00:19:04
name matches, a delete world button will00:19:06
appear. Please only delete your world if00:19:08
you are absolutely certain you no longer00:19:10
want to use it. You cannot recover00:19:13
deleted worlds. Once you've deleted your00:19:15
world, you'll be directed to switch to00:19:17
another one of your worlds or RPG00:19:19
characters or create a new one. There's00:19:21
another major new update that's come00:19:23
with this release, and that's the00:19:25
ability to visually manage the content00:19:27
inside your categories. When you click a00:19:30
category on the left hand side, it'll00:19:32
open in the main part of the articles00:19:33
and world manager interface. Just like00:19:35
with your world homepage, these custom00:19:37
content blocks can move, be removed, and00:19:41
you can add any kind of content to them.00:19:43
Use the slash menu in the visual editor00:19:45
or BB code in the advanced editor to00:19:47
embed anything you like. As you can see,00:19:50
categories aren't just simple folders.00:19:52
They contain content and make great00:19:54
overviews of a segment of your world.00:19:57
Perhaps an overview of a location, of00:19:59
your magic system, or a bestie category00:20:01
summarizing the animals and monsters of00:20:03
your world. You can also use categories00:20:06
to group together collections of work,00:20:08
like articles written for a specific00:20:09
challenge, collections of short stories,00:20:12
or a library of RPG adventures you've00:20:14
created. Categories can also have maps00:20:16
and timelines, as well as articles in00:20:18
them. To add a timeline to your00:20:19
category, open the timeline, click00:20:21
settings, then select your chosen00:20:23
category under related category. To add00:20:25
a map to your category, open the map in00:20:27
World Anvil, select map settings, then00:20:30
under the navigation tab, select your00:20:32
related category. Remember to press save00:20:34
changes. If you have questions that00:20:36
haven't been answered here, let me know00:20:38
