Saved Views
Saved Views let you return to common revision lenses such as one character, one romance arc, one mystery thread or a warnings-only pass.

Overview
Saved Views preserve the current Timeline lens so you can reuse it later. They are useful when you repeatedly return to the same story question during drafting or revision.
A view can capture the active filters and section visibility. For example, you might create a view for one protagonist, another for the romance arc, another for the central mystery, and another for continuity warnings.
Useful Saved Views
A character-focused view shows one character's scenes, appearances and relevant story evidence.
A romance view can combine the couple, relationship events, romance metrics and emotional weight.
A mystery view can focus on the investigation plot line, thread events, asset evidence and Mystery metric.
A revision view can show warnings, revision status, purpose and pacing while hiding lanes you do not need for that pass.
Writer Tip
Name views for the question they answer: "Where is Beth's grief visible?" is often more useful than "Beth filter".
