Deleting a Scene
You can delete a scene from the show's Scenes tab (trash icon on each row) or from the scene detail page (Delete button next to Edit Scene).
Because deletion is permanent, you must type the scene's title exactly to confirm.
What is permanently deleted:
- The scene itself
- Notes tagged to this scene
- Files uploaded directly to this scene
- Blocking, cues, and mic assignments for this scene
- Costume plots specific to this scene
What is unlinked from this scene (still available elsewhere):
- People assignments — the people remain on the show
- Character assignments — the characters remain on the show
- Inventory assignments — props, costumes, sets, and backdrops remain in inventory
- Show-level files (including AI-generated videos) remain in the show's Files section
- Events, tasks, and songs that referenced this scene remain in their respective lists
Their assignments to other scenes are unaffected.
