FAQ

No. The editor is at the centre of the product, but Plumelin also connects the outline, fictional world, feedback and exports within the same project.

In any language you choose: the manuscript belongs to you from beginning to end. The Plumelin interface is available in French and English.

Yes. The project lives on your device first, so writing does not depend on the network. Synchronisation then lets you find the project elsewhere or collaborate.

Plumelin runs in the browser on computers, tablets and phones without installation. When you use an account, your projects synchronise across your devices.

Changes made on several devices are merged without overwriting text, even after a long time offline. The synchronised project includes version history.

Yes. Import covers common formats: DOCX, EPUB, PDF, RTF, Markdown, plain text, HTML, Fountain, FDX and zipped Scrivener projects.

The manuscript is divided into chapters and scenes from its structure, and text formatting is preserved: italics, bold and headings. Final page layout is rebuilt at export time.

No. No feature requires AI. It is optional during import: it can suggest initial world elements from the text, or remain disabled.

Never without your action. Text is sent to an AI service only when you import a document with that option, and no data is stored; your manuscript remains yours.

No. Azure AI Foundry processes the excerpts needed for analysis without using them to train models. Plumelin keeps no cache of the analysis.

The Free plan covers simple exports. Paid plans add more demanding formats: DOCX, EPUB, cover and polished PDF.

Yes, at any time. Your projects export to several formats, including PDF, EPUB, DOCX and ZIP. Some are available on the Free plan. Plumelin is designed to remain useful, not to hold your manuscripts hostage.

No. The Free plan lets you write a complete book and synchronise it with your account: outline, scenes, worldbuilding and simple exports. Paid plans add advanced exports, suggestions and collaboration.

The account returns to the Free plan. Writing, synchronisation and history remain available; advanced exports and suggestion mode pause. You should still keep regular backup exports of your manuscript.

The author owns the text. Plumelin helps write, organise, review and export the project; it does not claim the manuscript content.

No one unless you invite them. Projects are private by default; only invited people can access them, with the permissions you give them.

The project is saved on your device so you can continue writing offline. When you use an account, a synchronised copy is also kept on Plumelin servers so you can access the project on your other devices.

Yes. The project owner activates Studio, then invites each person with the appropriate role: read-only, commenting or writing.

Only the owner of the project they want to share. Invited readers, editors and co-authors participate with a Free or Author account, without a Studio subscription.

A shared framework: export templates aligned with your guidelines, cleaner and more consistent submissions, and organised feedback. The Publishers page page explains these workflows.

This offer is being prepared with the first organisations. Email us with your formats and schedule so we can assess a suitable framework.

No. Each author writes with their own Plumelin account, which is free to start; some features require a paid plan, detailed on the Pricing page. The organisation is not charged.

Yes, if the project owner invites the organisation and has a Studio plan. Without an invitation, the organisation receives only what the author chooses to send: the exported manuscript and, if they wish, contextual material.
