    I could use some help with a couple of things:

    1. How do you add an image to the story? I've already published what I've done so far and I don't see a way to get back to the story settings to add an image.
    2. If I wanted to add several actions/chapters to a story, and I wanted the reader to go through nearly each one of them, but in the order of their choosing, how would I do that? Is it possible?
    In other words, if I had chapters for a person's morning routine, say,
    1. Take a piss
    2. Shave
    3. Take a shower
    4. Etc.
    Is there a way to walk through all of those in any order? 2, then 3, then 1, or 1, then 3, then 2, etc?

    For No.1 : Go to the '↓' on the top right corner of the main page. Click it for a drop-down menu and then select My Stories. On the right side of your story's title, you'll find three vertical dots which you can click to access 'Edit Story' which will allow you to add an image.

    As for 2. It is not possible to have multiple selectable actions within the same chapter. You would need to do them as separate chapters.

    Yes, this is possible but only if Conditional Branches (Game Mode) is activated. (Otherwise, the reader could skip several chapters or read them twice)

    There are several ways of doing it. Here is one example:
    You have a main chapter which is the hub.
    In the parent chapter (or an earlier chapter), you set a numerical variable "morning routine counter" to 0 and create boolean variables for all possible events and set all of them to FALSE.
    Add a chapter for each option to the hub chapter, which links back* to the hub chapter.
    All of these chapters need the following Conditions:
    [name of action] = FALSE
    morning routine counter < 5​
    and following Score Changes:
    [name of action] = TRUE
    morning routine counter + 1
    action = [unique number]*​
    The hub chapter should also get an additional option which ends the morning routine which has the following Conditions:
    monring routine counter > 4​
    In the hub chapter, you can use If-Statements to offer different text depending on the "morning routine counter" and the "action."

    * Alternatively, you could also create a normal chapter which describes the action and then add a linking chapter to each option which links back to the hub.
