Alternative glyphs and characters causing export errors

We are looking into a fix for an issue that blocks export if the project or a section contains an alternative glyph or character in the title.

"Auth session missing" on password reset
Investigating

We are looking into a fix for an error that gives an "Auth session missing" message on attempted password reset. This usually happens if you request a password reset email and follow the link in the email from a different device than the one the initial request came from.

A workaround is to re-request the password and make sure you check your email for the password reset link on the same device on which you requested the email from.

Randomly being logged out of the app
In progress

We've had some reports of writers being randomly logged out of Novlr, taking them into a log in loop.

It looks like this issue is isolated to our old app. If you haven't upgraded yet we recommend switching to the new app, which should resolve the issue.

To upgrade, head over to studio.novlr.org, log in with your Novlr details, and then run the upgrade to bring all your data over.

Please make sure you also update all bookmarks and app shortcuts to the new address.

Connecting to sync server error
Investigating

We've had reports of users getting a "Connecting to sync server error."

This is a temporary error that lasts for around 10 minutes and will resolve on its own, however it may be reoccurring.

If you see this error, your words are safe. They are still saving and will resync once the connection is re-established. The issue seems to be that the app is unable to pull data from our backend to display it on the frontend, meaning that versions may be buggy while the outage is active. But rest assured, the data is still there.

As a temporary measure, while we investigate, if you see this error, you can continue to write, but please avoid attempting to restore versions while the error is active. It should resolve itself shortly.

No Longer Receiving Weekly Report Emails
In progress

The last weekly report I received dates back from March 23rd. The feature is still enabled in my account settings. I disabled and re-enabled it, but I still didn't get the report I was supposed to get today.

Can't Justify Text

The option to justify text doesn't appear anymore. I can only align the text to the left, the right, or the center.

Keep's redirecting me to Login
Resolved

I just opened novlr to continue working on my next chapter and it asked me to login. Never happened before since my account info was saved in google but after logging in the website opened for a few seconds before redirecting me back to the login menu.

  • I deleted cache's and tried again
  • tried with a different browser (safari, firefox & google)
  • tried to change password and try again
  • Tried both computer and on mobile

It doesn't seem to work and I really need to post my next chapter in a few days.

Wrong numbers assigned to nested chapters
Shipped

Nested chapters will be assigned the same number when they're first created in succession. This resets to correct if a chapter is reordered, but will remain incorrectly numbered if not.

Chapters moving unexpectedly
Investigating

The chapter I'm working on keeps moving. It always places itself between chapters 1 and 2, no matter how many times I put it back where it's supposed to be. I'm using Firefox on Android.

Google Drive Backups broken again?
Resolved

I think something happened right after this(see screenshot), because I’ve since written up to half of Chapter 13

Use Latin Extended-A
Shipped

I am writing in Croatian and since the font used in the editor does not have the letters specific to our language (čćšđž), a substitute font for this letters is used, making the text look a bit ugly. Can you use the Latin Extended-A version of the font that includes all the characters used by most languages that write in Latin script? Novlr currently uses the Merriweather font (sans) and as far as I can see, it has Latin Extended-A (Google fonts).

Nested Chapters disappear
Investigating

If I add a nested chapter and give it a title and even a synopsis, and then move on to another nested chapter, when I reopen/reload the page they are blank. I have to rewrite both title and synopsis and try refreshing just to be sure they stayed.

Comment highlight remaining after deletion
Investigating

When blocks of text have comments applied, and comments are deleted, in some cases, the highlighting stays, even though they are no longer connected to a comment.

Titles resetting
Investigating

Sometimes, chapter titles will randomly reset to either their untitled or default import state.

No nested imports
Investigating

When clicking on a primary chapter to import, the most likely use case is in order to import that chapter nested. Currently it imports as a new primary chapter rather than as a nested chapter, as expected.

Chapters not splitting on import
Planned

In some cases, when there is a comment assigned to a formatted title in a .docx file, our importer will not recognise this as a chapter title. Instead of splitting it, the text will be added to the chapter that came before it.

Unstable analytics

Analytics can sometimes jump wildly requiring a manual recalculation on a case-by-case basis. We are looking at the underlying issue and making steps to improve this.

Slow import
Planned

Import is very slow, especially with large documents. We need to investigate why this is, and/or give some kind of "working in background" notification.

Windows device-native keyboard shortcuts don't work
Investigating

Not all device-native keyboard shortcuts work with Novlr on Windows devices. If you have experienced this, please let us know what shortcuts you use regularly that aren't compatible so we can investigate.

Projects not loading
Shipped

This issue is caused when writers have an older version of Novlr stored in their browser than the one that is currently live. We've added the ‘Refresh to the latest version’ popup for when we push a new release that will stop this from happening.
