Resume: back to where you left off
Mid-write, close laptop, reopen tomorrow — and Slima drops you straight back at the cursor position. That's what Resume does.
How it works
Every time you leave the editor (close the tab / switch to a different book / switch Studios), Slima records in the background:
- Which book
- Which file
- Cursor position (chapter, paragraph, word)
- Editor scroll position
Next sign-in → the bookshelf shows "{book title} · Continue Writing" at the top. Click it → enter the editor, land at that cursor position.
Desktop vs mobile
| Platform | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Desktop | Bookshelf shows a Continue Writing button; you choose to click |
| Mobile | Usually jumps straight to the editor (you know you want to continue) |

Cross-device
Resume works across devices — write on desktop in the evening, open on phone next morning, and Continue Writing brings you back to chapter 3.
Backed by cloud-stored last-edit position.
Multiple devices at once
If you have desktop + phone open simultaneously — Slima tracks the last device with an edit. E.g.:
- 09:00 desktop in chapter 3
- 10:00 phone editing chapter 1
- 11:00 desktop opens → jumps to chapter 1 (latest edit wins)
Turning it off
Account → Preferences usually has Resume-related toggles. Exact label varies by version.
