Editing Projects
WriterStats allows you to set and edit project data and metadata, such as a project's wordcount, image, link, genre, status and description!
All editing commands below modify your active project by default. You can set your active project using the /project set active command, or provide a different project name using the project_name field! If you'd like to write without a project, use /project no_active.
Renaming a Project
Unlike other metadata, renaming a project is accomplished using the /project set name command. Simply enter the new name of your project to complete the process.
