Organize acts, chapters and scenes

Build the structure of the book in Plan; the manuscript follows it.

Updated 27 September 2026Markdown

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Plan

    Choose Plan in the section bar.

  2. 2

    Add the structure

    Use New act, New chapter and New scene. A scene belongs to a chapter, a chapter to an act.

  3. 3

    Move things around

    Drag scenes on the Board, or switch to List to read the plan from top to bottom. The manuscript order changes with it.

  4. 4

    Filter

    Show one act, one status or one point of view when you revise.

Each scene also carries a status, a point of view and a summary, which the Board and the filters use.
