Scribe Hub

Overview

The Scribe Hub is the main page for any scribe. It shows the title, metadata, chapters, and gives you access to all actions like exporting, forking, translating, and more.

Navigation Tabs

A tab bar below the main header lets you switch between different views of your scribe:

• Blurb — The public preview page (how others see your scribe in the library)
• Scribe Hub — The main reading and management view (this page)
• Read — Immersive reading mode with customisable fonts, spacing, and themes
• Audioscribe — Listen to an AI-generated audiobook version of your scribe
• Workspace — Full editing environment (owners only)

Notebooks is accessible from the primary navigation bar at the top of every page.

Hero Header

The header shows your scribe's title, badges (Public, content type, quality score), and edition info. If you're the owner, you'll see Public/Private toggle and Share buttons.

Chapter Sidebar

On wide screens, a sidebar appears to the left of the content showing all chapters. Click any chapter card to jump directly to it. The active chapter highlights automatically as you scroll. Use the collapse/expand icon at the top of the sidebar to open or close all chapters at once.

Actions

The action bar in the top-right provides quick access to:

• Favourite — Save the scribe to your favourites
• Export — Download as a professionally formatted PDF
• More actions (overflow menu) — Translate, Create Espresso summary, Create Scribe, Edit Details, Create New Edition, Edit Attribution, Delete

About Section

Click the collapsible "About this Scribe" strip to see the full description, custom instructions, and topics. This keeps the page clean while making metadata accessible.

Editing Content

If you're the owner, double-click any chapter title, section title, or section content to edit it inline. The editing box expands to give you plenty of room to work.

Long sections expand to their full length when opened — the Hub doesn't clip or scroll-cap the content. If you have a chapter with several long sections, expect to scroll.

Tags

Tags appear below the About section. Owners can add new tags using the input field — the input sits centred on its own row, with a quick Full tag control in Workspace → link below it for batch operations like reordering or bulk delete.

References at chapter end

When a chapter was generated with web search on, a References block appears below its last section. References are grouped by section — each section has its own collapsible row showing the section title and how many sources it cited. All rows are collapsed by default; tap one to expand its source list. See Citations & References for the full behaviour, including how the rendering adapts when a model didn't place inline [N] markers.

Guided creation books

Books created via the Guided (Cold Brew) flow are authored section-by-section in the Workspace rather than batch-generated. The Hub knows this — guided books never show the "Generation interrupted" banner or the "Finalizing… X% Complete" status overlay, even immediately after creation. To continue working on a guided book, open it in the Workspace.

Imported scribes (Scribe Conversion)

Scribes created via the Upload your own flow (/create/import) — see Importing your own books — behave like any other scribe in the Hub, with two cosmetic differences:

• No "Chapter N:" prefix. Most published books already include the chapter number in the title (e.g. "Chapter 1: The Beginning"). On imports, the Hub drops the synthetic "Chapter N:" prefix in the chapter list and Read view so the title displays as the author wrote it — no duplication.
• No "Generation interrupted" / "Complete Scribe" banners. An imported scribe is complete the moment the import finishes — there's nothing for the AI to "continue." The Workspace also hides its Write Complete Scribe button for imports for the same reason.

You can find imported scribes in your library using the new Imports filter chip — imports also default to newest-first so a fresh upload is easy to find at the top.
