Create — creation hub

The Create tab (third button in the bottom bar) is your workshop: start a note or journal entry, find all drafts, and prepare them before publishing to the Library.

Open the Create tab

Sign in to Scripvio.
Tap Create in the bottom bar.
The screen shows:
- the title Create;
- the subtitle Choose what you want to add.;
- a Notes | Journal segment control;
- your drafts for the active segment;
- a floating + button at the bottom right.

Create hub

Create tab: Notes or Journal segment, draft list, and + button.

Two content types

Type	Title in the + menu	Subtitle (summary)	Typical use
Note	Note	Service or study notes — offline and synced.	Service, sermon, structured study, sections, verses, PDF export after publish
Journal entry	Journal entry	Write in rich text, mood and tags.	Personal journal, mood, tags, optional link to Tracking

Both follow the same flow: draft → work → publish → visible in the Library.

Create a note or entry (+ button)

Tap the + button (bottom right).
A sheet opens with Note and Journal entry.
Tap the type you want.
Scripvio opens the editor for the new draft (or reopens an existing untitled draft — see below).

Shortcuts from Home

Without opening Create first:

Home action	Effect
New note	Creates or resumes a draft note
Drafts (quick actions)	Opens the Create tab
Resume journal	Opens an in-progress journal draft

→ Discover Home

Untitled draft limits

To avoid piling up empty content, Scripvio limits untitled drafts:

Type	Rule	Message when blocked
Note	At most two untitled draft notes	You already have two untitled notes. Give one of them a title before creating another.
Journal	At most one untitled draft entry	You already have one untitled journal entry. Give that draft a title before creating another.

If you tap + when a limit is reached, the app reopens the existing untitled draft instead of creating another (with a warning).

Tip: set a title early in the editor to unlock new creations.

Notes and Journal segments

Below the title, a segmented control switches between:

Segment	What the list shows
Notes	All draft notes (unpublished)
Journal	All draft journal entries (unpublished)

Each segment has its own list, search, and filters — Journal does not show notes and vice versa.

Draft list

Empty state

If you have no drafts in the current segment:

You don’t have any drafts yet. Use the buttons below to get started.

→ tap + to create a note or journal entry.

Resume a draft

Choose the Notes or Journal segment.
Tap a row in the list.
The editor opens so you can continue writing.

Rows show title (or Untitled), excerpt, last updated, favorite, etc., like other lists in the app.

Search

Search field at the top (free text in title / content depending on type).
The list updates after a short pause while typing.

Sort

Segment	Sort options (sort menu)
Notes	Last updated, created date, title (A→Z / Z→A), etc.
Journal	Last updated, created, entry date, title

Filters

Filter	Notes	Journal
All / Favorites	Chips under the search bar	Same
Event type (service, study…)	Dedicated filter button (notes only)	—

Scroll down to load more drafts when the list is long.

Load error

If the list fails to load: Check your connection and try again. — often no network on first load; locally cached drafts may still be available depending on context.

Favorites on drafts

Each row has a favorite icon to mark important drafts. The Favorites filter shows only those. Favorites are useful before publish; after publish, you can manage favorites in the Library too.

Draft → published: typical flow

flowchart LR
  A[Create + or list] --> B[Draft editor]
  B --> C{Writing}
  C --> D[Publish]
  D --> E[Library]
  B --> F[Create draft list]

Step	Where	Action
1	Create → + or list	Create or reopen a draft
2	Editor	Write (title, body, sections, verses, mood…)
3	Editor	Publish when ready
4	Library	Read, search, export (note PDF)

→ Drafts and published content

Edit already published content

Content already in the Library is not heavily reworked in the published list: you create a new version as a draft, edit under Create, then publish again to replace the visible version.

Summary:

The Library keeps the old published version until the new draft is published.
The working draft appears in Create (matching segment).

Details: Notes and Journal guides.

Create vs Library vs Home

Need	Right place
New note or journal	Create → +
Resume a draft	Create → Notes or Journal segment
Read published content	Library
Search your published texts	Library (not Bible Search)
Add a verse from the Bible	Search → pick a draft only
Day overview, quick resume	Home

Bible Search and Tracking

Feature	Link to Create
Bible search	Verses can be added only to a draft note or journal (not to published Library content)
Tracking (prayer, meditation…)	May offer to link an activity to a draft journal entry

If no draft appears in Search’s picker: create one from Create → +.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn’t my note in the Library?
It is probably still a draft. Open it from Create and tap Publish.

I published by mistake — can I undo?
Depending on available screens, you may switch back to draft mode or create a new version; see Notes / Journal guides.

Journal segment is empty but I have draft notes.
Check the Notes segment — lists are separate.

Can I create without Internet?
Yes to open the editor and write locally; initial creation and sync may need network at some point. Retry online if creation fails.

Where is the + button?
Bottom right on Create, above the tab bar.
