A mind map on the canvas is a way to see relationships before they become the ordered manuscript.
Outline. Sections, status, and words, from the same Project Map.
Planning. Premise, characters, roadmap, setting, and reader experience.
Mapping Concepts & Plot
Use cards and threads to lay out characters, beats, and source clusters before you commit to chapter order. The board can stay messy while the manuscript stays linear.
Converting Nodes to Sections
Select the cards in story order and choose Outline… or Map to Outline. Roono writes manuscript sections or a roadmap from that order. The spatial board, the ordered manuscript lens, and the outline read one Project Map.
Story Bible Backlinks
Entity records keep the story bible: people, places, and sources, with backlinks to the sections that mention them. Open the selected entity in the reference pane with ⌘⌥R.
