Reorder and insert scenes: drag to reorder, add scenes, cross-episode move
Last updated May 22, 2026 · 3 min read
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
Column-bottom + New Scene button
Each column's bottom has a + New Scene button → it creates an empty scene card directly at the bottom of that column (no dialog, no required fields).
Then fill in the card inline: tap INT/EXT, location, time, beat, summary, characters, and so on.
Inserting at a specific position
The board has no "Insert before / after" menu. To slot a scene into the middle of a column, create it with + New Scene, then grab it and drag it to the position you want — scene numbers auto-renumber.
Move scene to another Episode
Switch to the full-season board (season view), where each episode gets its own column. Grab a scene card → drag it to the target act in another episode's column → release; the 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
Cross-episode dragging only works inside the same season's full-season board — there's no "Move to another Season" action. To relocate content across seasons, recreate the scene in the target season.
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
