Overview

Move and Reorder is for structural editing. Use it when a scene belongs in a different chapter or should sit at the start or end of the current chapter.

Moving a scene does not mean rewriting its planning data. The scene keeps its characters, assets, plot thread events, metrics, notes, warnings and attachments. After moving, review chronology, dependencies and continuity warnings because the same event may now occur at a different point in the story.
