# Current State

Current State gives a quick answer to where the asset stands now. It combines importance, condition or status, current location and resolution status.

Use it before writing or revising a scene where the asset appears. If a letter is missing, a key is recovered or a weapon has already served its story purpose, this section should make that clear.
