Direct answer
For each finding, decide whether to keep, clarify, move, rewrite, or remove the conflicting material. Then make the smallest edit that restores the story logic without over-explaining the problem to the reader.
Why it matters
Continuity review should reduce revision noise. A finding that never becomes a decision is just another note competing for attention.
A simple way to handle it
- Open the chapter evidence behind the finding.
- Name the actual conflict in one sentence.
- Choose the edit type before rewriting prose.
Separate the flag from the fix
A flag tells you that something may be wrong. It does not automatically tell you the right repair. If a character knows a secret too early, the fix could be moving the reveal, changing the dialogue, adding a missing scene, or deciding the early knowledge is intentional.
That is why the first step is to restate the problem plainly. Once you know what the contradiction actually is, the edit gets smaller and less emotional.
Use the lightest edit that restores trust
Not every continuity issue needs a new scene. Sometimes a line of clarification is enough. Sometimes the cleanest fix is deleting a stray detail that no longer belongs to this draft.
LoreVia helps by pointing back to the evidence, but the author still chooses the level of intervention. The best fix is the one that makes the story coherent without making the repair visible.
- Clarify a line when the setup exists but is easy to miss.
- Move a reveal when reader knowledge arrives too early.
- Remove a detail when the draft no longer uses it.
