Suggestions: Be able to search when moving chapters, being able to delete polls, and more.

[AnEmbarrassedCreation18]

Being able to move chapters is great, but it's really annoying having to scroll through all the options until I find the chapter I want to send the chapter too. Being able to just search up what chapter I want would be so much better!

I'd also love it if we could delete polls from our posts. There's been times where I've done polls and later decided I wanted to take them down since I don't like the options or since I think the chapter would just look better with a small poll or no polls. Since I can't delete it, I end up having to delete and redo the entire post which is a bit frustrating.

It'd be great if I could also link chapters from my different stories, instead of only having chapters link to the one story their in.

Being able to unpublish chapters and draft it would also be amazing for editing posts.

I think that isn't a good idea at all as it would encourage users to post countless link chapters to other authors' (public) stories to sneakily lead them to their own, maybe even unrelated stories.

There is a workaround to that. If you delete a chapter and then restore it on your Deleted Chapter list, it will be back in draft mode.

I feel like linking to other stories would be fine if you're only allowed to link to stories down by the original story author. So if I make a story called "The Rumble King" and someone posts their own chapters in it, they can't link those chapters to any of their own stories. They can only link it to chapters in any story I made. Whether it's "The Rumble King" Or "The Blue Panties" or something.

I guess it's not really draft mode that I'm looking for, but more of a hidden mode. I want to be able to hide chapters until I can finish my edits. If I just delete it and restore it as a draft, it means I'd have to republish it. I don't want to that since people might get annoyed by seeing the same chapter posted again, even if it's edited.

Well, you could just keep the chapter empty or unchanged, and create a draft chapter where you draft the newer version.

If that doesn't work due to it being a game mode story where you need the specific changes in that chapter without any additions, you can use game mode syntax to show the new version of the chapter only to you until it is ready to switch over.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve made a few improvements based on your feedback.

You can now search by chapter title or number in the Move chapter dropdown to find your destination quickly. I’ve also added search to Copy chapter and a few other long dropdowns around the site.

You can now also remove polls without deleting and recreating the chapter, even if voting is still open or people have already voted. Just edit the chapter, click Remove Poll, remove its poll marker from the text, and save. Removing a poll permanently deletes its votes. If you’d prefer different options, you can add a replacement poll, which starts with no votes.

And you’ll find Return to draft in the Chapter actions dropdown now. It hides the chapter from readers, and you can publish it again when you’re ready.

This is perfect! Thank you so much!
