Mapping your story with columns and beats
The Plot Board is a drag-and-drop corkboard. Columns give it structure, beats are the moments that fill it in.
The Plot Board gives your story structure a visual home, separate from the manuscript itself.
Columns
A column represents whatever unit of structure fits how you plan. Acts, chapters, or themes are all common choices. Add a column from the Plot Board toolbar and give it a title.
Beats
A beat is a single card inside a column: a moment, event, or turning point in your story. Add a beat to any column, give it a title, and optionally a short synopsis for more detail than the title alone can hold.
