Finding things
Search across the whole project, mark scenes so they can be found later, and get back anything you cut.
Searching the project #
The magnifier in the top-right searches the whole project — manuscript prose, scene titles, outline synopses and your entity pages — and takes you to the place it found rather than just naming it.
Results can be narrowed by scene metadata, so you can ask for scenes in one POV, at one status, or carrying one keyword, instead of reading the whole list.
Scene status, POV and keywords #
Every scene can carry a status — Outline, First draft, Revised or Final — a POV or tag, and any keywords you like. Status and flags show as a colored dot on the node, so the state of a section is visible without opening anything.
These are what the search filters read. Marking scenes as you go is what makes “every unrevised scene in Nora's POV” a question you can actually ask.
The scrap pile #
Nothing you delete is destroyed. Scenes, chapters and acts removed from the outline go to the Scrap Pile, along with entity blocks and anything else you cut, and can be restored from there.
That is what makes cutting bearable: you can take a paragraph out to see whether the chapter is better without it, knowing you can put it back in a month when it turns out you were wrong.
