Plan view overview: 6 sub-tabs for planning
4 min read
The Plan view (first icon in the left activity bar) is Script Studio's planning hub — with 6 sub-tabs: Planning / Characters / Storylines / Locations / Worldview / Notes. All metadata is edited here.
The 6 sub-tabs
| Tab | What you view / edit |
|---|---|
| Planning | Series info: Title / Author / Type / Logline / Concept / Target Audience / Synopsis |
| Characters | Character Bible: character list, role (protagonist / antagonist / supporting), appearance matrix |
| Storylines | A-story / B-story / C-story etc. See Storylines concept |
| Locations | INT / EXT lists, linkable to scenes |
| Worldview | Free-form world rules / setting / lore |
| Notes | Free-form notes (Note Board) |
Planning tab fields (the default Plan view opens)
- Series info: Title / Author / Type (Film / TV Series / Short / Micro Drama)
- Logline: one-two sentences, e.g. "A lighthouse keeper, J. Doe, meets a retired teacher A. Smith on a storm-lashed night and is forced to face a childhood secret he's buried for 30 years."
- Concept: a longer narrative summary
- Target Audience: who the work is for
- Synopsis: per-season arcs / direction
This data is passed to the AI Coach as book-level persistent context — shaping how it understands your script.
Plan view vs other views
- Plan = editing structure / planning / characters / locations / worldview
- Scenes = visualising how scenes line up
- Write = actually writing dialogue
Plan is the "thinking view", Write is the "typing view". Typical workflow: fill in Plan's Logline / characters / synopsis first, then start Write.
