    Quick question, I am 20 or so chapters into my current story and would life to add a new name variable, but I can't seem to find how to do it? Can I just enter a new name in curly brackets {} or do I need to add that variable somewhere else first?

    Thanks!

    Go to your list of stories, find the story in question, and choose to edit it.

    I don't see anything that I can edit other than the first chapter (intro) of the story, which doesn't give me the option for a new variable.

    just to clear things up for anyone that looks at this thread in the future you can get to it by clicking the arrow in the top right and picking "my stories" if you try to go in through your profile the option won't be there.

    That needs to be fixed.

    Not really, the one from your profile is just your public profile that everybody sees so there is no reason for an edit story button to be there.

    True, that would be needlessly difficult to program...

    It's merely about the intention of the different sections.

    A button which is only visible for story owner (users who can edit) similar to the button in "My Stories" could be implemented. Maybe with direct access to the story map for all (logged in) users.
