Creating a Plot: Parts & Blocks

The Plot feature uses a two-tier structure: Part and Block

Part: These define the major segments of your story.
- Example: Proposal, Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, etc.
Block: These are individual units within each Part, used to organize specific scenes or events.

💡 Tip: You can easily reorder Parts and Blocks at any time using Drag & Drop.

Instant Navigation: Click on a character or document linked to a plot block to jump directly to its page.
