# 3.3.3 Connecting files on the plotboard

> Linking documents, sheets, canvas, notes; tags and metadata

## The plotboard is connection-focused

The plotboard is\
**the most connection-friendly space** in Pensiv.

Each **part card** is not just a scene summary;\
it’s a **connection point** that ties everything relevant to that scene.

The plotboard’s purpose is not to store files.

> It’s to **show what role each file plays in the story.**

***

## What you can connect to a part card

You can link many kinds of files to one part card.

Those links are not just a collection of info;\
they create **structural context**.

***

## ① Documents

* The scene’s manuscript
* Drafts, revisions
* Scene text

When you link a document,\
structure (plotboard) and narrative (document) stay in sync.

You can jump from the card to the document\
and edit with the scene’s position and role in mind.

***

## ② Sheets

* Character
* Place
* Item
* Event

Linking sheets makes it clear\
**which setting is in play** in that scene.

For example:

* Who appears
* What space it is
* What concept is central

That information appears with the part card.

> A scene is no longer just text;\
> it becomes a **structural unit where setting and relations are visible.**

***

## ③ Other files

Part cards can also link to:

* Canvas (relationship or emotion maps)
* Notes (idea memos)
* Other plotboards

So you can keep all thinking for that scene in one place.

The plotboard is not isolated;\
it’s where other file types meet.

***

## ④ Tags and metadata

You can add tags to part cards.

Examples:

* Intro
* Transition
* Climax
* Callback

Tags mark the scene’s **function** in the structure.\
Same card shape, different role by tag.

> Tags turn a scene into\
> **structure + metadata.**

***

## What connections mean on the plotboard

The plotboard is not a storage area.

One card can show:

* Scene summary
* Linked document
* Characters
* Related setting
* Scene function

all at once.

> The plotboard is\
> not where you store files;\
> it’s **where each file’s role is visible.**

***

## Summary

When you connect files to part cards,\
the plotboard is no longer just a structure diagram.

* The scene is the center
* Related information is grouped
* Context is kept as you move

When structure and content stay linked,\
the story doesn’t scatter.

The plotboard is\
where structure and connection meet.
