Overview

Revision Status summarises project progress so you can see what is drafted, revised, polished or still waiting for attention.

When Should I Use This?

Use it during planning reviews, before a writing session, or when deciding whether a book is ready for a deeper revision pass.

How To Use It

Scan the groups for uneven progress. Open the relevant scenes or chapters when you need to update details.

Example

If most scenes are drafted but one chapter still has many planning-stage scenes, that chapter may need focused attention before polishing.

Writer Tip

Revision status is a navigation aid, not a measure of quality.

Common Mistakes

  • Polishing scenes whose structure is not settled.
  • Forgetting to update status after major edits.
  • Treating all chapters as equally ready because the draft is complete.
