Reorder and insert scenes: drag, ⋯ menu, cross-episode move

Scene Board supports drag-to-reorder and insertion at any position.

Drag to reorder

Within a column

Grab a card (grip handle or card body) → drag to a new position in the same column → release.

Scene numbers auto-renumber (e.g. dragging scene #3 in front of #1 → it becomes new S01; the previous S01-02 each shift +1).

Across columns (different acts / beats)

Grab → drag to another column → release.

The scene's act / beat assignment changes. Dialogue and description stay intact — only the "which structure column" metadata changes.

Important: Slima auto-versions before major reordering — recoverable from history.

Insert a scene at a position

Method 1: column-bottom + New Scene button

Each column's bottom usually has + New Scene → opens the scene creation dialog:

• Title (required)
• INT/EXT (required)
• Location
• Time
• Main characters (optional)

Confirm → new scene appears at the bottom of that column.

Method 2: scene card ⋯ menu

Any card's ⋯ menu → "Insert before" / "Insert after" → same scene dialog; the new scene is placed at the specified position.

Method 3: bulk from List mode

In List mode, right-click → add multiple scenes (some versions).

Move scene to another Episode

⋯ menu → "Move to another episode" → pick target → scene moves with all its metadata.

Cross-episode move:

• Scene number switches to the new episode's sequence
• Storyline links preserved
• Character chips preserved

Move scene to another Season

Usually done via the episode-move route — there's typically no direct "Move to another Season" option.

What scene order affects

• Scene number: affects exported format (Scene 1, Scene 2…)
• Timeline view: position along the timeline
• Storyline narrative pacing: A-story landing in scene #3 vs scene #7 reads very differently
