Corkboard

The Corkboard is an index-card view of your whole story — the classic way to see structure at a glance and shuffle it.

Each chapter is a column; each scene (event) is a card showing its title, synopsis, POV character, and status.

Scene status

Every card carries a status pill, and you can change it right on the card:

Idea → Outline → Draft → Revised → Final

The same statuses drive the Scene Status panel on the Dashboard and the status colouring in the Character Arc grid.


Restructuring

Action Effect
Drag a card within a column Reorders scenes inside that chapter
Drag a card to another column Moves the scene to that chapter
Click a card's title Jumps to that scene in the chapter detail, with the time cursor set to it

The timeline order updates to match. It is the same set of events as the Timeline, shown as a board — reorder here or there and both stay in sync.


Undo

Reordering is a single undoable action: reordering two events puts both back, never half the swap. See Undo, Redo & Recent Changes.


Not available while reading

The Corkboard is a writing screen, so reading mode removes it — along with its address, so typing the URL in returns you to the dashboard.
