My World — Your Private Copy of the Room's World

• Canonical World— The room's shared, official entity graph. Controlled by owners and moderators.
• My World (fork) — A complete private copy of the canonical world, owned by you. One active copy per member per room.
• Snapshot — Your copy is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live link. If the main world changes, your copy does not update automatically — a banner shows the snapshot date and lets you re-copy.
• Owner rights — You are the owner of your copy, so you can add, edit, reorder, and delete anything in it.
• Drop & re-copy — Throw your copy away and re-fork from the current main world to start fresh (free by default).

• Mystery investigations— Rebuild the timeline with your own theory, add suspects, and test scenarios without touching the room's official version.
• Research rooms — Reorganize the shared corpus into your own analytical framework.
• Corporate strategy— Model an alternative scenario against the team's baseline.
• Family archives — Reorganize and annotate your branch of the family tree.
• Book clubs— Track your own character theories and plot predictions on a copy of the story's world.

A member's My World is a copy, not a view of your canonical world. That means they can freely edit, reorder, and delete entities in their own copy — none of it affects your room's official world. This is by design: My World is a safe sandbox for experimentation. Nothing a member does in their copy can pollute the canonical world, so you never need to worry about moderation from personal copies.

Once enabled, members will see a 🧭 My Worldlink in the room's Bookshelf dropdown navigation, and on the World page itself. Encourage adoption by:

• Posting an announcement: “I've enabled My World — make your own copy of this room's world and experiment freely!”
• Linking to this tutorial in your room's welcome message.
• Keeping the canonical world well-maintained — members copy from it, so richer canonical entities make better personal copies.

Your My World copy is yours. You are its owner, which means you have full control over it:

• Edit anything — rename characters, rewrite descriptions, change confidence levels.
• Add and delete— create your own entities or remove ones you don't care about.
• Reorder the timeline — drag events into your own sequence.
• Build scenarios — create named theories and switch between them.
• Restructure the graph — move nodes, redraw connections, lay out the world your way.

Your copy is a snapshot. If the room's canonical world changes after you create your copy, a banner on your world shows “snapshot from [date]” so you always know you're looking at a point-in-time copy, not the live world.

Finished (or want to start completely over)? Click 🗑 Delete My World in the banner. Your copy is removed and you can create a new one from the current world any time.

Your copy uses the same five entity types as the canonical world:

Because your copy is a real world, you get the room's theory tooling too:

• Named scenarios— create different versions of the timeline (“Theory A”, “Draft 2”), mark one active, and compare them.
• Confidence levels — set 1–5 confidence on entities and events to signal how solid each piece of your theory is.
• Excluded events— hide events that don't fit your current scenario without deleting them.

• Within your allowance — creating a My World is free. The create page shows how many free creates you have left this cycle.
• Beyond your allowance— creating costs a flat credit amount (shown before you confirm). Your balance is checked first; if you're out of credits, you'll get a top-up nudge.
• Re-copy — free by default, so iterating on your theory costs nothing.
• Ongoing storage— not billed; you're only charged for creating copies.

Open the room's 🧭 My World link and click 🌍 Create my World. The platform copies the room's entire canonical world — every suspect, witness, event, and relation — into your private room.

You land on your own world overview, with the exact same menu bar as the main room. The banner at the top reminds you this is your copy, snapshotted today, and that changes here never touch the main room.

Days later, the room adds a new witness to the canonical world. Your copy doesn't have them yet — and the banner now tells you the main world has changed since your snapshot.

Your My World now contains your own version of the case: a reordered timeline, a named scenario (“The Partner Did It”), annotated entities with honest confidence levels, and a graph laid out to tell your story.

And here's the key: none of this is visible to other room members, and none of it changed the canonical world. When you're ready to share your theory in the room's chat, you can — and you can keep iterating in your private copy for as long as you like.

The room owner has not enabled My World, or your role does not meet the access threshold. Ask the room owner to check the My World Accesssetting at the room's World settings page.

You've used your plan's free creates for this cycle, and your credit balance is below the create cost. Top up through the billing dashboard and try again — or wait for next cycle's allowance.

That's expected — your copy is a snapshot from when you created it. Use ↻ Re-copy from main world to pull in the latest canonical world (this replaces your copy, so re-apply any changes you care about).

The main room's world has been disabled or the room removed. Your copy stays intact and usable — you just can't re-copy while the source is gone.

Not yet. My World is private to you for now; sharing and publishing are on the roadmap. In the meantime, present your findings in the room's chat.
