# Overview
|
|
|
|
The Scenario Timeline is the sandbox view of your what-if structure. It shows the proposed order and lets you test movement before applying anything to the main story.
|
|
|
|
# When Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
Use it while exploring an alternate scene order, testing chapter placement or checking whether a reveal lands better elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
# How To Use It
|
|
|
|
Move scenes within the scenario, validate the sandbox, then compare it against the main order before applying it.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
You might move an accusation scene later and validate the scenario to see whether the new order creates missing setup warnings.
|
|
|
|
# Writer Tip
|
|
|
|
Look for consequences, not just whether the new order feels exciting.
|
|
|
|
# Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Treating sandbox order as final too soon.
|
|
- Forgetting to compare before applying.
|
|
- Ignoring scenario warnings.
