Editing dialogue and narration

Each panel has editable text fields:

• Dialogue — what characters say (rendered in speech bubbles)
• Narration — captions, scene-setting text, internal thoughts (rendered in caption boxes)
• Character assignment — which of your defined characters appear in this panel

Editing these fields is free — no credit cost — when the dialogue and narration is overlay text (the typical case in ComicInk: speech bubbles and captions are positioned by the editor, not burned into the underlying art).

How to edit

In the issue editor (the flipbook view), click any panel. You'll see editable fields for that panel:

• Type new dialogue or narration
• Change which characters are in the panel
• Add or remove a panel from the page (changing the panel count regenerates the page art and does cost 25 credits)
• Save your edit

Changes appear immediately in the flipbook view.

What about text in the image itself?

Some text is generated into the page image — for example, a sign on a wall, a newspaper headline visible in the panel, or a chalkboard. This is "in-image text" and is part of the rendered art.

To change in-image text, you need to regenerate the page or panel — 25 credits. The new prompt should specify what the in-image text should now read.

The same applies to translations: when you translate an issue to another language, in-image text is regenerated in the target language, and that's where the 25-credit translation cost comes from.

Adding panels

You can add a new panel to a page after generation. Adding a panel changes the page layout, which regenerates the page image — that costs 25 credits.

Removing panels

You can remove a panel from a page. This also regenerates the page image (25 credits) so the remaining panels reflow properly.

Reordering panels

Reordering within a page changes the layout, which regenerates the page (25 credits).

Multiple language versions

If your issue has been translated to other languages, edits apply to the version you're editing. You may need to re-translate the affected panels for other language versions to reflect your changes — see translating your comic.
