# Overview

Workflow Summary lists the scenes in a chapter with practical signals such as draft status, priority, warnings, checklist items, open notes and blockers.

# When Should I Use This?

Use it when deciding what to work on next inside a chapter, or when checking whether the chapter is ready for drafting, revision or polish.

# How To Use It

Scan the scene cards and choose the next useful action. A blocked scene may need a decision. A warning-heavy scene may need continuity attention. A ready scene may be safe to draft or polish.

# Example

If one scene is blocked by a missing location and another is ready for revision, you can choose the task that fits the session instead of opening scenes at random.

# Writer Tip

Use the summary to separate creative drafting from practical cleanup. Both matter, but they use different kinds of attention.

# Common Mistakes

- Treating a blocked scene as ready because its summary sounds exciting.
- Ignoring warnings before polishing.
- Trying to fix every scene in one pass.
