RELEASE NOTES
Introducing Quest Log
Quest Log is now live in Archivist. It gives your campaign a canonical objective tracker built from completed sessions, with review controls before anything is committed.

What This Release Is Designed to Solve
Long-running campaigns create continuity drift: unfinished objectives get lost, status changes are forgotten, and recap context can splinter across tools. Quest Log gives you a canonical objective layer that stays tied to session outcomes.
- Centralized objective memory: all active objectives in one campaign-level view.
- Review-before-commit flow: suggested updates are reviewed in a diff drawer before becoming canon.
- Actionable prep view: search, filtering, and sorting help you focus only what matters next.
What Ships in Quest Log
- Compile quests from completed sessions from the Quests tab or Action Hub.
- Review new quest suggestions and updates in a single diff drawer.
- Merge/split controls for reconciliation before approval.
- Canonical quest list with objective status, progress history, and related entities.
- PDF export for sharing objectives with your players.
For product-level usage guidance, see the Quests documentation.
How It Works
- Choose Compile Quests (Quests tab or Action Hub).
- Archivist loads the next eligible completed session and builds a quest update preview.
- Review the diff, make changes, then Approve to save canonical updates.
Sessions must be in a completed state to compile. The review-first flow keeps your quest canon intentional, not automatic.
Diff Drawer Actions You Can Take
- Merge New → New: combine overlapping new quest suggestions.
- Merge New → Existing: fold a new suggestion into an existing canonical quest.
- Split New by Objective: route a broad suggestion into objective-specific quests.
- Reject changes: remove a generated quest update from the current diff.
- Reject + keep extracted: preserve extracted source while dropping the merge result (when available).
- Add/Edit inline: refine quest text, objectives, and related entities before approval.
This keeps final campaign canon editor-controlled while still accelerating generation and routing.

Why This Release Matters
Quest Log reduces continuity loss between sessions, gives GMs cleaner prep visibility, and helps players stay aligned on what is still active. Combined with review controls and canonical persistence, it creates a stable objective memory for long-form campaigns.
