Creating Schools on Notebook.ai

From Hogwarts to Walkerville to Brakebills, schools educate every new generation in our worlds.

Creating schools on Notebook.ai is easy.

To get started, just click Schools under the "Worldbuilding" header in the site sidebar. You'll be able to see or edit all of your existing school pages and create new ones at any time. You can also customize your School template for all of your pages here.

Search your schools

If you've got a lot of schools, 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 school.

You can also filter your schools by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.

Private by default

Your ideas are valuable. Every school 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 school page you want, however you want, whenever you want.

Schools are a Premium page

School notebook pages require an active Premium subscription to create, but users on free plans can view and edit their existing school pages at any time.

Notebook.ai is your personal worldbuilding notebook; any page you create is yours forever and you'll never lose access to any part of it for any reason — even if you downgrade to a free account in the future.

school Get a head start with a detailed, customizable school template

You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new school. 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 school page.

Templates are also fully customizable across every school in your notebook.

You can browse the default template for schools here; just click a category to see the questions it starts with.
