Expanding and Collapsing Scenes

T-SBADV-004-006

As you work on a storyboard, you may accumulate a large number of scenes composed of a tremendous number of panels. You can collapse lengthy scenes into one panel to have more space in the Thumbnails view.

How to expand or collapse a scene
‣ In the Thumbnails view, click the Expand/Collapse Scene button at the top-left of a scene composed of many panels.

One of the following happens:

The scene collapses, leaving only the first panel visible. The Expand/Collapse icon changes to a plus (+) sign.

The scene expands to show all its panels. The Expand/Collapse icon change to a minus (-) sign.

How to collapse or expand all scenes
‣ In the Thumbnails view, click the Expand/Collapse All Scenes button at the top-right.

When your scene is collapsed, you can still work in the Timeline view. However when you select a panel, the entire scene is selected, not just one panel. This means that you cannot work only on a single panel in the Timeline view; you must first expand the collapsed scene.

IMPORTANT: If you try to delete a panel in a collapsed scene, the entire scene will be deleted. You cannot delete a single panel.
