Source Management: Your Research Library
Sources are linked to claims via citations. Upload research, classify it yourself, and link it to the claims it supports. The Sources tab in each chapter shows your research library and the claims in that chapter with their support status.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
Research accumulates across a nonfiction book. You have PDFs, notes, URLs, and quotes, but no way to link them to the specific claims they support.
A nonfiction book might cite 50 sources across 200 claims. Tracking which source supports which claim by hand is a full-time job. And when you revise a claim, you need to know whether the source still applies.
Sources are linked to claims via citations. The Sources tab in each chapter shows your research library and the claims in that chapter with their support status. Upload TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF files and classify each one yourself: research, voice sample, existing manuscript, notes, reference, source material.
You classify uploads. You link sources to claims. You decide what is authoritative. Nothing is treated as authoritative until you say so.
What other Inkloom features interact with it
Claim Validation
Claims are tracked with support levels: unsupported, partially supported, supported. The Validate Claim action on selected text creates a claim record and suggests what evidence would support it, without fabricating sources.
Continuity
Facts are extracted from your chapters into structured records with fact types, entity labels, confidence percentages, and source passages. Proposed facts promote to canonical with one click. Conflicts become cards. Nothing is ever silently resolved.
Chapter Editor
A real rich-text manuscript editor with precise search, syntax-highlighted code blocks, a command palette, local recovery, typewriter mode, private notes, full-manuscript search, autosave, full version history, focus mode, familiar keyboard shortcuts, and reviewable AI actions. Your text is never overwritten.
