Overview

Timeline no longer calculates or draws Plot Line lane health markers.

Existing Story Health analytics and Continuity warnings remain available. Persisted Continuity warnings may still appear beside affected Timeline scenes. These are distinct from the retired lane heuristics.

Use Plot Lines to inspect narrative contributions.

Asset Events

Asset events show where important story objects change state, location or custody so continuity remains visible.

Timeline

Character Appearances

Character appearance lanes show where characters appear, what role they play and how focused views can support character arc review.

Timeline

Filters and Focus

Filters change which scenes and lanes are emphasised so you can review a book, character, asset, plot thread or warning pattern.
