A useful hierarchy
Acts, chapters, and scenes hold their own drafting state, target, notes, and links back to the manuscript.
Story in view
Plan acts, chapters, scenes, people, and relationships alongside the manuscript, with planning data that never rewrites accepted prose.
Open LigataActs, chapters, and scenes hold their own drafting state, target, notes, and links back to the manuscript.
Personas and directional relationships make a character network legible without flattening it into a generic list.
Planning diagnostics surface broken links, nesting issues, and impossible targets. They report; they never alter the story for you.
The story rail lets you see the scene’s purpose, setting, people, setup, and payoff while the chapter stays open. Planning becomes available at the moment it is useful, not another application to maintain.
Because story structure is distinct from live page content, it can be synchronized, reviewed, and versioned without rewriting a paragraph you have already accepted.
