The views of a story and the bar at the bottom of the screen.
A story has four views. Switch between them from the bar at the bottom of the screen, or with ⌘K.
| View | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Board | The story's structure: sequences, interactions, notes and links. |
| Script | The whole story as one screenplay. |
| Scene | One scene's canvas, where you storyboard it, with its timeline. |
| Play | Plays the story. You pick each outcome, or go live with an audience. |
The companion
The bar at the bottom of the screen is the companion. It holds the tools of the current view, shows what is generating, and opens the command menu.
- ⌘K finds any sequence, interaction, scene or view, and runs commands. Type a sentence to ask Living Stories.
- ? opens the shortcuts for the screen you are on, and lets you turn tips off.
- Right-click anything on the board or a canvas for its menu.
- ⌘Z undoes your last change, ⇧⌘Z redoes it.
On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of ⌘.
Panels
Panels open on the right: the inspector of what you selected, the Canon, the Gallery and the story's settings. They stack, and Esc closes the one in front. Drag a panel by its header to move it; double-click the header to put it back.
