Sharing works

Greetings.

I'd like to know if there is a way to share more than one piece of our work. For example, I shared half of a first chapter because there entire chapter was longer than 3000 words. Is there a way to share the second half without deleting the first half?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you Jimmy. That's a fantastic suggestion!

My suggestion:

a) You share the 1st half of your chapter.

b) When people have pointed out mistakes and/or made useful suggestions for improving that first half, you edit it.

c) you copy and paste the edited FIRST half into a comment box. (These can not be edited later, so you should use them for the improved version).

d) you replace the 1st half at the head of the "shared work" with your 2nd half and wait for comments.

So far as this, I know this works. I have used this method to share - and maintain visible - 3 separate short stories (https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/jimmy-hollis-i-dickson/work). I only wonder if you could keep on going and share a whole novel in this way.
