# Overview
Main vs Scenario shows which scenes have moved between the current story order and the sandbox version.
# When Should I Use This?
Use it when deciding whether the scenario's structure is actually clearer, stronger or more suspenseful.
# How To Use It
Look at each moved scene and ask what changes in setup, payoff, character knowledge and pacing.
# Example
Moving a confrontation earlier may increase pace but weaken the evidence trail that made it believable.
# Writer Tip
Scene movement always changes context. Compare what the reader knows before and after each moved scene.
# Common Mistakes
- Evaluating moved scenes in isolation.
- Forgetting that character knowledge may change with order.
- Applying a scenario without checking moved scenes.
