Creating Locations on Notebook.ai
From magical mountains to urban modern settings, locations are the lifeblood of worldbuilding.
Creating locations on Notebook.ai is easy.
To get started, just click Locations under the "Worldbuilding" header in the site sidebar. You'll be able to see or edit all of your existing location pages and create new ones at any time. You can also customize your Location template for all of your pages here.
Search your locations
If you've got a lot of locations, you can quickly get around to the right one with Notebook.ai's full-text search. It searches your entire notebook for anything you wrote about that location.
You can also filter your locations by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.
Private by default
Your ideas are valuable. Every location you create in Notebook.ai is owned by you, completely private by default, and only accessible to you.
But of course, you also have full control over that privacy and can share any location page you want, however you want, whenever you want.
Locations are free to create
Free users can create an unlimited number of locations on Notebook.ai.
Notebook.ai's free tier was designed to be more than enough for most creators, with Premium pages serving as a way for more advanced worldbuilders to further flesh out their rich worlds in even more detail.
terrain Get a head start with a detailed, customizable location template
You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new location. You'll see progress indicators every time you edit it to show where you can make progress on and our system will intelligently generate questions for you around the site that will automatically save your answers to the proper place on your location page.
Templates are also fully customizable across every location in your notebook.
You can browse the default template for locations here; just click a category to see the questions it starts with.

To focus on a single universe, simply select it from the top-left dropdown of any page.
