The corkboard

Step back from the page and see a stretch of the book as index cards: one per scene, with what happens in it.

Click a chapter’s name in the Manuscript sidebar to see its scenes as cards; click a part’s name for the whole part, chapter by chapter, or Corkboard at the top of the sidebar for the whole book. (The ▸ beside a name still folds and unfolds it.) Each card shows the scene’s title, its synopsis, its words and its status, with a stripe across its top in the status colour, or, if you prefer, in the colour of its plotline from the outline.

Working on the board

Click a card’s synopsis to write or rewrite it, right there. The status pill changes the scene’s status. Drag a card to a new place in its chapter, or into another chapter, and the book follows. + New Scene adds a scene at the end of a chapter. Double-click a card, or select it and press Return, to open the scene and write.

The board makes the same changes as the sidebar, so they wait for your next save like any others, and every save is kept as a version.
