# Overview

Chapter Workflow brings one chapter's intent, scene readiness, blockers and checklist signals into a single working view. It is a bridge between chapter planning and scene-level work.

# When Should I Use This?

Use it when a chapter feels vague, uneven, blocked or ready for review. It is especially useful before starting a writing session for a specific chapter.

# How To Use It

Review the readiness counts, update chapter goals, then scan the scene workflow summary for blocked, draft-ready, revision-ready and polish-ready scenes.

# Example

If a chapter has three scenes but only one is ready to draft, the workflow view helps you see whether the others need decisions, notes or structural changes first.

# Writer Tip

Think of this page as a chapter briefing. It should help you know what the chapter is trying to do before you open individual scenes.

# Common Mistakes

- Drafting scenes before the chapter's purpose is clear.
- Treating readiness counts as quality scores.
- Forgetting to update goals after restructuring the chapter.
