# Overview

Revision Summary shows how much of the project sits in each drafting or revision state.

# When Should I Use This?

Use it when planning a writing session, preparing a revision pass or checking whether a book is ready for polish.

# How To Use It

Look for stages that need attention and open the scenes listed under needs attention.

# Example

If many scenes are marked ready for revision but few are polished, plan a structural pass before line editing.

# Writer Tip

Do the right kind of work for the current stage.

# Common Mistakes

- Polishing before structure is stable.
- Forgetting to update scene status.
- Treating status as a judgement of worth.
