When you ask Brena for a large change, like a full project schedule, a two-week lookahead or splitting a task into subtasks, it doesn't add the tasks straight away. It saves them as a draft so you can check them first. Nothing changes on your schedule or board until you commit the draft.
How you know Brena made a draft
Brena tells you in its reply, for example: "It's saved as a draft and hasn't been added to your schedule yet." The draft has a name ending in .tasks, such as plan.tasks. Brena also lists anything it thinks you should fix before committing, such as tasks in the wrong phase, work out of order, or tasks that repeat ones already on your board.
Open the draft in Brena Suggests
In the Brena panel, click the orange sparkle icon at the top right of the chat.
The Brena Suggests panel opens and lists the drafts (artifacts) from this chat.
Use the Plan tab to see the draft as cards grouped by phase, or the Tasks tab to see a table with start date, duration and trade.
Each draft shows its version (for example, v1) and how many tasks it contains:
Change the draft
Ask Brena in the chat to fix anything before you commit. For example:
"Move the detailed tasks under their correct phases."
"Put windows, doors and roofing before drywall."
"Spread these subtasks over three days and assign them to the Troubleshooting & Repairs team."
Brena updates the draft and saves a new version. You can also click the pencil icon on a task card to edit it, the trash icon to delete the draft, or Download to save a copy to your computer.
Commit the draft
When the draft looks right, type commit these tasks in the chat and press Enter.
Brena confirms with a message like "Committed 9 change(s) from 'plan.tasks'."
Open the board or Gantt view to see the new tasks.
Here's what a commit looks like in the chat:
Before you commit: watch for duplicates
If your board already has some of the same work, committing a draft can add a second copy of those tasks. Brena usually warns you when this might happen. If duplicates were added, ask Brena: "Remove the extra copies the last commit added."
Tips
Ask Brena to put phases on a High Level Plan Board and detailed tasks on a Work Board if you want them split across boards.
Give Brena real details, like square footage or foundation type, so it can adjust durations before you commit.
A draft stays in its chat. You can come back to it later from Recent Chats.
