The pre-production Overview and brief
Everything the project is about, on one page: the brief, key dates, planned deliverables, references and prep progress.

A pre-production project opens on Overview β a single page summarising what the project is, when things happen and who is on it. There is no separate Info tab; everything folds in here.
Brief & goal
The Brief & goal card holds the project brief. Click the pencil to edit it inline. This is the text your team β and the AI assistant β will read to understand what you are making.
Key dates
Use Add key date to put down the dates that matter β a concept lock, a shoot day, a final delivery. Give each a label and a date.
Key dates are not just decoration: they surface in the planner as amber flag chips, for anyone assigned to that project β so you see the key dates of projects you are actually on, not every project in the workspace. They are read-only there, and clicking one opens the project.
Deliverables planned
This card lists the deliverables β that is, the scripts β planned for the project, with who each one is assigned to. Use Add deliverable to add one on the spot, and click a deliverable to jump straight into the Scripts writer.
Reference projects
Collect the work you are referencing. Each entry takes a label, a URL and an optional note on what exactly to reference. Handy for a "make it feel like this" conversation that would otherwise live in a chat thread.
Music selection and colour profile
Two more cards capture creative direction that would otherwise get lost: Music selection (tracks, mood, tempo, licensing notes) and Color profile. Both are editable inline.
Snapshot, Team and Prep progress
The right-hand side shows a Snapshot β client, status, due date and open tasks β plus the Team on the project and a Prep progress bar driven by the project's tasks.
Where to go next
From Overview the natural next stops are Canvas to collect visual references, and Scripts to start writing. Both are tabs on the same project.
