Prep notes
Prep notes are free-text reminders that hang off a scene: things to pull, source, age down, or check before the day. Each scene keeps two separate notes, Costume Prep Notes and Makeup Prep Notes. Both always exist side by side, so each department writes its own without stepping on the other.
- Open a scene from your Scenes list.
- Open the Costume Prep Notes or Makeup Prep Notes tab. Both tabs are always there, so anyone can read either one.
- Click Edit, type into the textarea, then click Save. Cancel discards the change.
A tab with unsaved edits shows a dot until you save or cancel, so you don't leave a note half-written.
- Open a scene. Scenes that already have a prep note show a prep-note pill on their row, tap it to jump straight to the note.
- Both notes still live on the scene. The prep-note editor shows the one for your selected department, labelled Costume Prep Note in Costume and Makeup Prep Note in Hair & Make up. Switch department to write the other.
- Type your note and tap save.
Costume and makeup notes are kept apart on purpose. Write department-specific reminders here, and use wear notes for what a character actually wears in the scene.
Prep notes live on the scene, so add your scenes first. See Creating and editing scenes.
