Acts customisation: rename / add / delete / reorder
最終更新 June 10, 2026 · 約4分で読めます
Scene Board arranges scenes in Acts / Beats columns. Act content is determined by your chosen structure template — but you can customise it.
What Acts are
Acts are Scene Board's columns in Board mode:
┌─ Act 1: Setup ─┬─ Act 2: Confront ─┬─ Act 3: Resolve ─┐
│ Scene 1 │ Scene 4 │ Scene 7 │
│ Scene 2 │ Scene 5 │ Scene 8 │
│ Scene 3 │ Scene 6 │ │
└────────────────┴───────────────────┴─────────────────┘
Each Act represents a structural phase (setup / confrontation / resolution). List mode is instead a flat sortable scene table (scene # / summary / location / INT-EXT / time / characters / storylines / duration / structure), not act columns.
Default Acts from structure templates
Three-Act template → 3 Acts.
Taiwanese TV template → 3 acts / 6 beats (mixed).
Kishotenketsu → 4 segments (Ki-Sho-Ten-Ketsu).
Freytag's Pyramid → 3 acts (5 beats).
Customising acts
When the default doesn't fit → change act name / order / count:
Rename an Act
Click act title → edit mode → rename.
Doesn't affect scenes inside.
Add an Act
A "+ New Act" button at the end of the act row → dialog:
- Act name
The new act is always appended as the last column.
Delete an Act
When you delete an act, the scenes inside are automatically moved to the first remaining act — nothing is lost. The last remaining act can't be deleted.
(Act deletion currently lives in the structure-template editor; the Scene Board act header shows only the name and scene count, with no ⋯ delete menu.)
Auto-version before major changes.
Reorder Acts
Act columns can't be dragged to reorder on the board today. To change the order, edit or recreate the structure template.
Save current acts as custom template
If your customised acts are worth reusing for other scripts:
- Scene Board "Manage My Templates" / "Save Current Structure as Template"
- See Custom structure templates
