Writing

  • Binder of folders, chapters, screenplays, notes, boards and Story Bible entries: drag to reorder and nest, Trash with restore.

    from any selection. Cast panel for the current document.
  • Boards: mind-map canvas with coloured cards, links, child/sibling keys, cards linked to documents.
