When To Use

Recommended for long-form projects. For short-form work under 10 minutes, Beat Sheet is generally not recommended.

Layout Map

• Header: save/connect status, generation/translation status, agent controls, approval and graduation actions.
• Center Editor: structure template selector, beat list editing, beat add/remove, and draft-scene handoff.
• Right Sidebar: collaboration chat + version history controls.

Panel-by-Panel Reference

Beat Sheet Editor

Edit beat names, descriptions, and content. Change structural template and translate existing beats to the new structure.

Collaboration Sidebar

Use story editor chat to generate or revise beat proposals, then apply accepted proposals directly.

History Panel

Save snapshots, restore older versions, and annotate/rate iterations.

Workflow

1. Pick structure template.
2. Generate initial beats or manually draft.
3. Refine per beat with chat-assisted passes.
4. Save versions at major checkpoints.
5. Approve beat sheet, then graduate to Screenplay.

Useful Controls

• Cmd/Ctrl + S saves current beat sheet to history.
• Structure translation preserves story intent while remapping beat names.

Controls and Functions

Control	Function	When To Use
Structure template selector	Chooses the beat framework used by the editor.	Set this before generating or reorganizing beats.
Beat add/remove controls	Adds, deletes, or restructures individual beats.	Use for manual story shaping after the first draft exists.
Beat text fields	Edit beat names, summaries, and detailed story content.	Keep each beat specific enough to guide screenplay drafting.
Generate/revise via chat	Requests story-editor assistance and returns proposed beat changes.	Use for structural passes, not tiny typo corrections.
Apply proposal	Accepts generated revisions into the current beat sheet.	Review before applying because it changes the working draft.
History snapshot	Saves or restores versions.	Create snapshots before large structural changes.
Approve or graduate controls	Marks the beat sheet ready for screenplay work.	Use when the structure is stable enough to draft from.
