# Overview
|
|
|
|
Compare Scenario is the checkpoint before committing a what-if structure. It shows moved scenes and scenario warnings so you can judge the consequences.
|
|
|
|
# When Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
Use it after making meaningful changes in a scenario and before applying the scenario to the main story.
|
|
|
|
# How To Use It
|
|
|
|
Review moved scenes, check warnings, then decide whether the alternate order is stronger, needs more work or should remain only an experiment.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
If moving a clue later creates a warning that a later scene depends on it too early, the comparison page tells you where to look.
|
|
|
|
# Writer Tip
|
|
|
|
A scenario can succeed even if you do not apply it. Sometimes the experiment teaches you why the original order works.
|
|
|
|
# Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Applying because the order is new, not because it is better.
|
|
- Ignoring warnings created by the alternate order.
|
|
- Forgetting which scenes moved.
