Plotlines

Choose the grid’s rows yourself: name your plotlines (“Elizabeth & Darcy”, “Jane & Bingley”, “Lydia”), give each a colour, and put each beat in one.

The plotline grid with a row for each named plotline, each in its own colour. — Each plotline a row, in its own colour.

At first the grid’s rows are the outline’s top-level items. That suits an outline arranged by thread. If yours is arranged by act or by chapter, give it plotlines instead: New Plotline adds one, and Make Plotlines from Threads gives each top-level item a plotline of its own as a start.

Give an item its plotline from the grid, from the item’s page, or from the tree’s right-click menu. Items inside an item follow its plotline unless you give them their own; in the tree, a hollow dot shows a plotline that’s inherited. Once there are plotlines, the grid’s rows are the plotlines, in order, then No plotline.

Right-click a plotline’s row to rename it, change its colour, move it up or down, or delete it.
