AI panel tab bar: switch between chat and chapter analysis
Last updated May 15, 2026 · 3 min read
At the very top of the right-hand AI panel there's a thin tab bar — an AI Chat tab on the left, four chapter-analysis buttons in the middle, and AI Memory on the right. It shows whenever the AI panel is open and you have a file open.
Where it is
It isn't a component you switch on by itself — it appears at the top of the right-hand panel whenever you open the AI Chat or Chapter Analysis panel (and have a file open). Close the AI panel and the bar goes with it.
What's on the bar
Left to right:
| Button | Use |
|---|---|
| AI Chat | Switch to the AI chat panel |
| Pacing Scan | Run pacing analysis on the current chapter |
| Dialogue | Run dialogue analysis on the current chapter |
| Repetition | Find repeated wording in the chapter |
| Consistency | Check setting / plot consistency |
| AI Memory | Open the AI Memory drawer (manage what the AI remembers about you and your books, plus custom rules) |
The four analysis buttons (Pacing Scan / Dialogue / Repetition / Consistency) need a file open and go grey otherwise. Clicking one switches to the analysis panel and arms a pending run — it only runs when you press "Start analysis".
Selection-based actions like Rewrite / Expand / Shorten are not on this bar — they live in the quick-actions-on-selection menu.
Relationship to the main AI chat panel
This tab bar = the switcher at the top of the right AI panel, letting you move between "AI Chat" and "Chapter Analysis".
The panel body below = the full conversation space and analysis results.
The chat you open from the "AI Chat" tab appears in that right-hand panel.
