The Plan view: six tabs holding an old project's planning

In one line: every piece of planning in an old project sits in these six tabs. This page says what each one holds, and what it turns into once the project is copied across.

What each tab holds

Tab	What is in it
Planning	The fields describing the whole work, plus Seasons & Episodes underneath
Characters	The character bible: a list on the left, one character's sheet on the right, and an Appearance Matrix view showing who turns up in which episode
Storylines	Your A-story, B-story and the rest, in two tiers: season and episode
Locations	Interiors and exteriors, linkable to scenes
Worldview	A small file tree that takes Markdown, images and PDFs, with a preview and editor on the right
Notes	A wall of notes. Each one remembers which season, episode, and even which scene it belongs to

Between them, these six tabs hold everything in an old project that is not the screenplay text itself.

What is on the Planning tab

The top block is Series Info: seven fields, all edited in place, saved a moment after you stop typing.

• Title and Author
• Type: Film, TV Series, Short Film or Micro Drama
• Logline: the story in a sentence or two
• Concept: a longer narrative summary
• Target Audience: who you are writing for
• Synopsis: where the whole thing goes

Scroll further and you reach Seasons & Episodes, which is where the four-level structure is edited.

Storylines come in two tiers

Season storylines are created on the season card and carry the long threads across episodes. Episode storylines are created on the Storylines tab, and only those can be tagged onto an individual scene. If a storyline is missing from a scene card's picker, it is almost always because it was made a season storyline.

Worldview does not work like the other tabs

It is not a form. It is a small file tree: right-click to add files and folders, upload, rename, export. Markdown files open in the same editor the Writing Studio uses, and dropped images and PDFs render.

It is not wired to any AI, and its right-click menu carries none of the Writing Studio's AI items.

What the six tabs become after a copy

Press Copy as new Writing Studio book and these six tabs flatten into files you can see in the tree:

This tab	Becomes
Planning	One Series Bible .md; if you used seasons, a Season Bible .md inside each season folder
Characters	A Characters folder, one .md per character, with gender, abilities and relationships written into the text
Storylines	A Storylines folder, one .md per thread. The season/episode tiers stop existing
Locations	A Locations folder, one .md per location
Worldview	A World Building folder holding the same files, images and PDFs included
Notes	They travel, but all as book-level notes. The new book has no season or episode to pin them to

Characters, locations, storylines and notes that were hidden when you deleted a season do not travel. They sit in a deleted state in the old book, and copying does not turn them back into ordinary files.
