# Overview

Project scene metrics list the sliders available for this project. Active metrics appear in scene editing and can feed analysis views.

# When Should I Use This?

Use this section when cleaning up a project's metric set, changing the order of sliders or deactivating metrics that no longer help.

# How To Use It

Review each metric's range, default, status and value count. Deactivate a metric when it is no longer useful; remove only unused custom metrics when the app allows it.

# Example

If "Violence" has no values in a quiet domestic project, it may be better inactive. If "Tension" has values across every chapter, keep it visible.

# Writer Tip

Metrics are most useful when they reveal contrast. Keep the set small enough that each slider has a job.

# Common Mistakes

- Removing a metric before checking whether scenes use it.
- Keeping every metric active for every genre.
- Reordering sliders so the important ones are hard to find.
