Revision heat

Where has the work gone? Revision heat tints each scene by how often it has been revised, from cool blue to warm orange.

The Manuscript sidebar tinted by revision heat: most scenes a cool blue, a few warm orange, with a picker at the top choosing the range.
Revision heat since the snapshot “Volume I finished”: the first volume’s revisions show warm.

View → Show Revision Heat tints each scene by how many saved versions changed it, against the most revised scene in the book. Chapters and parts are tinted by their scenes together. Hover over a row for the count.

A picker at the top of the sidebar sets the range: since the beginning, the last 7 or 30 days, or since any snapshot or published edition. Since a snapshot such as “First full draft”, it shows exactly which scenes a revision has reached, and which it hasn’t yet.
