Continuity checking
A continuity checker that’s read your whole story.
Write in the Pantser workspace and every chapter is checked against everything you’ve already written. The scar, the siege, the color of the staff in chapter one. When two lines disagree, Pantser shows you both and lets you rule.

Your words against your words
Both lines, quoted. You rule.
Chapter 6 says Tobin set his lamp on the floor. Chapter 10 says it was the stick that had been Brannoc’s father’s. Pantser puts both sentences in front of you, quoted and linked, and asks which story you’re telling. Either chapter is one tap away.
Accept the new version. Keep the old one. Call it a retcon and make it canon. Or dismiss it, because you meant it all along.
What it watches
The details readers keep score on.
Character facts
ages, eyes, scars, siblings, the Sight
Timelines
was the Siege two years ago, or three?
Items
the lamp in chapter six that’s a stick in chapter ten
Places
the gate that faced north until chapter twelve
World rules
the magic your new chapter quietly breaks
Descriptions
the grey cloak that turned black by chapter ten
You wrote twenty chapters. Pantser caught the one sentence that didn’t agree.
Where you already are
One tap from the card to the contested line.
Every conflict quotes both chapters, and every quote is a door: tap it and you’re standing on the exact passage, ready to fix the line or defend it. The gold counter in the header keeps score until you’ve ruled on everything. It’s the same check either way: the story you’re writing, against the story bible built from the story you’ve already written.
Questions writers ask
What kinds of contradictions does it catch?
The ones readers catch: a scar that switches eyes, a siege that was three years ago in chapter two and two years ago in chapter forty, an item that was a lamp in chapter six and a stick in chapter ten, a world rule your new chapter quietly breaks.
Does it flag things while I’m typing?
No. Nothing nags you mid-sentence. Pantser reads a chapter once you’ve written it and raises anything that disagrees with the story so far. Writing time is yours. The checking happens around it.
What if the contradiction is on purpose?
Then it’s a retcon, and you say so. Every flag is a question, never a correction: accept the new version, keep the old one, mark it a deliberate retcon, or dismiss it entirely. You’re the continuity editor. Pantser just never forgets.
How do I know a flag is real?
Every conflict shows both sentences, quoted from your own chapters, side by side. No summary, no paraphrase. Your words against your words, one tap from either passage.
Can it check a story I’ve already written?
Yes. Import the manuscript and Pantser reads it first page to last, the same way your readers did, and surfaces the contradictions that crept in somewhere around chapter twenty.
