The Page-by-Page Planning Table

The Planning tab holds the Page-by-Page Planning Table: one row per page of your book, with everything later stages need to generate it.

The Columns

Column	What it’s for
Index	The page number (001, 002, …) — fixed, one row per page of your project.
Subject	What’s on the page, in a few words (e.g., Axolotl reading under a mushroom).
Sketch Prompt	The generation prompt for the line art. Supports # mentions of your Image Pool characters.
Color Prompt	The color direction used by the Coloring stage (e.g., soft pastel pond tones). Optional but recommended.

Let AI Draft It

The Planning AI Assistant (left panel) can fill the entire table: ask it to “plan all 50 pages” based on your brainstorm, and the rows populate directly in the table — you’ll see them appear as the response streams. You can also ask for partial changes (“make pages 10–20 about nighttime scenes”) and only those rows update. Your job shifts from writing 50 prompts to editing a draft.

Editing Like a Spreadsheet

The table behaves the way you’d expect from Sheets:

• Click selects a cell; double-click or Enter edits it; Esc cancels.
• Tab / Shift+Tab and arrow keys move around; Shift+arrows extends the selection.
• Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V copy, cut, and paste tab-separated ranges — pasting from a real spreadsheet works.
• Delete clears the selected cells; Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y undo and redo (up to 50 steps).
• Drag the ⋮⋮ handle to reorder rows. Content moves; page numbers stay fixed.
• Type # in any Subject or prompt cell to insert a {Name} character reference.

Every change is saved automatically — there is no save button.

Getting the Plan In and Out

• Copy table — copies all rows to the clipboard (tab-separated) for pasting into a spreadsheet.
• Export to CSV — writes a standard CSV file wherever you choose.
• A collapsible Brainstorm Summary strip above the table lets you tweak your five answers without leaving the tab.

When the table looks right, move on to Sketch — generation reads exactly what’s written here.
