Overview

Story Asset Details is the continuity record for one important object, clue, document or story item. It shows the asset's current state, where it is, whether it has been resolved, what it depends on, how it appears across scenes and who has custody of it over time.

Use this page when revising clues, checking object movement, planning a reveal or confirming whether an important item has completed its story purpose.

Main Sections

Section What it helps you check
Current state The asset's importance, condition, location and resolution status.
Dependencies Other assets that must exist, be found or be in a certain state first.
Events across scenes The scenes where the asset appears, changes, is used or gains significance.
Custody Who possesses or controls the asset at different points in the story.

Example

A sealed evidence folder may begin in a police office, move to a character's flat, be opened in a later scene and become resolved once its role in the mystery is complete. This page lets you check that chain without hunting through every scene manually.

Writer Tip

Use this page as a continuity checkpoint before reveals and handovers. If the asset matters to the plot, the reader should be able to follow where it came from and why it matters.
