Finding Your Way Around the Studio

Finding Your Way Around the Studio

The Studio is where you build and preview the scenes in your project.

Its main areas help you answer three questions:

• Which scene am I working on?
• What does it look like?
• What can I change?

This guide introduces the workspace so you can find the controls you need.

Start from the Dashboard

The Dashboard is your starting point for opening an existing project or creating a new one.

Open a project to enter its Studio workspace. Before editing, check that you are in the correct project.

Use the Scene Navigator

The scene navigator helps you move between the scenes in your project.

Select a scene to load its content and settings into the editor. Check the selected scene before making changes, especially when your project contains several similar conversations or posts.

Use Add Scene when you want to create another digital moment for your story.

The scene type determines which content and settings are available.

Check the Preview

The preview shows how the selected scene appears visually.

Use it to review details such as:

• Which character or account is displayed.
• Message order and text wrapping.
• Images and other visual content.
• Timestamps and available scene details.
• The overall appearance of the scene.

The preview is especially useful after changing text or adding images. Review it again before exporting.

Edit Content and Settings

The settings area contains controls for the selected scene.

The available fields depend on the scene type. A conversation uses different controls from a social media post or lock screen.

For example, a chat scene may let you choose a sender and add messages, while a post scene provides controls for its text, image, and engagement details.

Follow the save controls and status messages shown in the editor. Where a Save button is available, use it to save your changes.

Manage Characters and Social Accounts

Use the project’s character management controls to create or edit the people in your story.

From there, manage the fictional social accounts associated with each character.

If a character is unavailable for a platform-specific scene, check whether they have an appropriate account for that platform.

Character management defines who appears in your story. Scene editing defines what happens in a particular moment.

Review the Scene Before Exporting

Before exporting, check:

1. You have selected the correct scene.
2. The intended characters and accounts are displayed.
3. Text, images, and timestamps look right.
4. Any changes that require saving have been saved.
5. The preview shows the result you want.

Use Export PNG where it is available to download an image of the scene.

Keep the downloaded image somewhere you can find it when preparing your story for sharing.

Working on a Smaller Screen

On smaller screens, the workspace may place navigation, preview, and settings in separate panels or tabs.

Switch between them as you work: choose a scene, adjust its content, then return to the preview to inspect the result.

Revisit the Guided Tour

If you would like an introduction while using the application, look for Start Tour on the Dashboard.

The guided tour helps you work through the main creation flow. You can return to these docs whenever you need a reference.
