The edit window is initially positioned underneath the storylines window and contains three tabbed windows: Card, Project Notes, and Reports.
The Card tab contains a number of further tabbed windows containing controls for editing a card's properties.
The Project Notes tab gives you somewhere to make notes. These notes are saved with the StoryLines project. You can use File | Import Project Notes... and File | Export Project Notes... to import to and export from this notes area. You can use the Project Notes to convert linear text to cards. Simply select the text you wish to create a card from, and click on the New Card menu item or toolbar button, or use the shortcut Ctrl-N.
The Reports tab shows reports representing linear representations of your project.
