Hey team!

Wasn't sure if this has already been reported, but the text panel for story items gets really slow as it becomes a bit bigger.
The scroll bar is not very responsive and even if you drag it lags severely.

Might not be top priority but wanted to share in case it wasn't known.
I cannot share the current file I have for proprietary reasons, but I'm happy to share a mock version if needed. Essentially just make a file for a dungeon that has more than 30 rooms :D

Best!

You should be breaking up story entries by room; and then provide a high-level index of links to each room as a separate story. You will run into performance issues if you try to place all the text for an entire chapter into a single story entry.

Good thinking, I'm going to do that which will help.

Although not for the current instance, because copy and pasting from one item to another loses formatting, and having to format everything again would be too much work.
Thanks!

Copy the story itself (not the text entry) and then delete the extra sections from the copies and rename them.
