Your character will now be in your Character Library and accessible in any story you create.

<aside> 💡 Tip! The “Save position” function saves your character’s coordinates to a clipboard. If you copy/paste something else, it will clear your position. You can always copy the position into a notepad if you plan to copy/paste other things in between. This is also useful in case you need to use the position again in the future.
