CSV columns
Audio File Name, Character, Character ID, Text (Dialogue), Context / Direction, Node ID
- Character ID is copied from the entity sheet.
- If no VO asset is set, filename is suggested automatically:
scene_character_001.wav
Actions
- Preview, copy to clipboard, download
- Print / PDF — opens print dialog (save as PDF)
Import
Import tab in the same modal.
- Choose a file or paste content (CSV, MD, JSON, JSONL).
- Preview: scene count, line count.
- Create missing characters (optional) — match by Character ID; otherwise new character from name.
- Import to current chart — a flow chart must be open.
Import result
- Each line becomes a dialogue card on the current canvas.
- Lines are linked in one chain, zig-zag layout (left/right columns, stepping down).
- Speaker, text, direction, and VO filename carry over when present in the file.
WARNING
Import does not create nested scene flows — flat, connected chain only. Delete earlier imports manually if needed.
