Events

Events are the smallest unit of writing in Oent. They are used to create the timeline, documents, and other resources.

A document is made up of multiple events, and the event cards show the bird's eye view (or outline) of the story.

How much information an event contains is dependent on your writing style.

Flexibility

Writing in events offers the flexibility to move ideas around quickly. You can easily change its position in the document, move it to another document, detatch it or even convert it into a note.

Shared Events

Events in documents can be shared with the timeline, and vice versa. This allows you to organize the same event in both tools, and this is the recommended way to write in Oent to get the most out of it.
