Egad. I’m replying from my phone and should have read the thread first. My suggestion for creating copies of the project was already made, way up near the top. 
Thanks Steve, I did read through the thread and it seems people want slightly different things with the Narrative View.
I’ll do as you suggest and start a new thread called Narrative Collections. That way, the idea of Collections (as in Scrivener) will be emphasised.
I think we need the Narrative cards in a separate view that can be used for story arcs that doesn’t sync with Scrivener. ETA: multiple narrative views would also allow those of us who might be using Rob’s method of having multiple books in one Scrivener file and thus one AT file, to be able to look at the Narrative cards for each book separately. As it stands now if I have Book 1-4 as Narrative Folders then I can only view each Book as one long column. What I need is to be able to look at any particular book by Acts with each Act being a Narrative Folder and all four acts placed horizontally next to each other, something you lose when you use this multiple book method.
