Mark Scenes as Draft or Complete

158 votes

When working on a project, I would like a way to quickly visually identify which scenes have been finished and which scenes are still in progress. Ideally, they would have different colors and/or icons.

Given Dabble's focus on simplicity, this feature could go several ways. My preference is to use color and let me decide what the color means. Red, yellow, green may work for me but a different culture would use different colors. Others might only want two different states, someone else may want seven. Give us lots of choices and remember the colors (settings?) we have used for easy reuse. Lots of color choices help with color blindness also.

I like John’s idea, to be able to add a color to a scene so I know what stage it’s at.

Agree that use of color could be used for this function. Overall, general word processing features would be very helpful.

Under the manuscript side making it so that we can color code the chapters, or ad tags to them or notes on that side. So I know what is finished not finished or somethint along those lines

Technically, you can already do this by using ribbons in the Plot. They show up as colors in the Manuscript. Maybe not as direct but useable right now. I'm using Red, Yellow/Orange, Green like stop lights.

I would REALLY love this bc currently I have a scene to "summarize" the scene and the reason for it, and then I have the actual scene titled DRAFT or whatever I want to actually name the scene if it's done.
