Adding a Character to a Scene
Add characters to scenes directly from the Mic Plot — useful when a character is missing from the grid or only appears in some scenes:
- Add Character button: Click "Add Character" in the toolbar to open the dialog
- Existing character: Pick a character that's already in your show
- New character: Switch to "New character" and type a name to create one on the fly
- Choose scenes: Multi-select the scenes the character appears in — they'll be added to those scenes throughout the app
- Optional mic: Pick a mic to assign immediately to all selected scenes
- Empty cells: Click any empty cell (where a character doesn't appear in a scene) to open the dialog pre-filled with that character and scene
