Chapter/Draft

 Chapters are labels describing specific sections of videos. They're navigable either through the SponsorBlock extension menu, or with dedicated keybinds.

Chapter permissions are given automatically to users with a history of accurate segments on a regular basis.

Specifics

This is an example of connected chapters, marked to the same millisecond (there's no break in between).

• Should be timed precisely, just like any other segment. For more information on this, refer to advice for submitting.
• Use the main language of the video.
• Unlike other categories, start a chapter on the first frame of the respective section without including a buffer. End it on the first frame after the section.
• When a chapter leads into another with no break, the ending chapter should stop on the same frame at the newly beginning chapter, without any gap or overlap.

Exceptions / edge cases

• Do not use chapters in place of other categories.
• Do not add sponsoring brand names in chapters if the video doesn't have a  full video sponsor label.
• Chapters should not mock or fact-check the video creator.
• Chapters should not be used in place of closed captions.
• Chapters are not a replacement for other categories. If a segment fits into another category, it should be submitted as that instead of as a chapter.

Imported chapters

This is the import menu that you use to put in arbitrary text, such as from a document or a comment, to make chapters in a video.

SponsorBlock chapters must be timed to the millisecond (ex: 0:14.195) and not the nearest second (ex: 0:14).

If other viewers in the comment section of a video have already created chapters with timecodes, you can import those through the SB extension menu. To import chapters:

1. Copy the text from the comment.
2. Paste it into the import menu (see the screenshot on the right).

Before you submit chapters imported from a YouTube comment or elsewhere, make sure that these chapters:

1. Haven't gotten mixed up during import process and that they accurately describe parts of the video they cover.
2. Are timed precisely and do not cause frame-flashes or sudden audio cuts when jumping to the beginning of a chapter.
3. Follow all the category's rules.
