Creating notes: entry points and the three types

Notes in the Notes tab are created mainly by right-clicking a scene element or clicking +. Each note is one of three types: Note, Todo, or Foreshadow Tracking.

How to create a note

When a Notes column is empty it prompts: "No notes yet. Right-click a scene element or click + to start." Two starting points:

• Right-click a scene element: in the Write editor, right-click a scene element (scene heading, dialogue, description, etc.) to make a note on it. A note created this way is attached to that scene.
• Click +: add a note directly in the Notes tab.

The three note types

Every note is one of three types, matching the three columns of the "By Type" view:

• Note: general ideas, references, remarks
• Todo: things to handle, not yet done
• Foreshadow Tracking: setups planted vs. payoffs (details)

Viewing and filtering

• By Type / By Scene switches the view
• Series / Season / Episode / All filters the scope
• Each column header shows a count of notes of that type
