The rundown board

The rundown board is where your show comes together. It is a kanban board: each show has its own board, columns represent stages of your workflow, and every story is a card you can drag between them. Everyone on your team sees the same board, and any change — a moved card, an edited note, a started clock — appears on everyone's screen immediately.

Navigating shows

The board loads today's show by default. Use the arrow buttons in the header to step to the previous or next show, or click Today to jump back. The show options menu (three-dot button) lets you create a New Show, export the rundown as Markdown, PDF, or DOCX, or delete the show.

Working with cards

Each card shows the story's title, a colored type badge, up to three tags, the planned duration, the assigned host, and an image preview if the story has an image attachment. Drag a card by its grip handle to move it — drop it on a column to add it to the end, or drop it on another card to take that position. If a move fails to save, the board reverts it and tells you.

Cards also carry quick actions if your role can control the live show:

• Set Live puts the story on air (it gets a red LIVE badge); End Live takes it off.
• Add to Queue lines the story up. The first queued story shows UP NEXT; later ones show their queue position.

Use the card's menu (the three-dot button on the card) to Copy story, then open another show and click the Paste button above the board to copy it there. You can paste the same story into multiple shows.

On desktop you can switch between card view and table view with the view toggle; the table's column picker controls which fields are shown. Use the Filters button to narrow the board by story type, host, or tag. On a phone, the board shows one column at a time — switch columns with the tabs or by swiping.

The story editor

Click any card to open the story editor. Fields include:

• Title, Type, Column, and Duration (minutes and seconds)
• Assigned Host
• Notes — the main story text, which also feeds the teleprompter. If you have connected an AI assistant, you can ask it to draft notes from the story's source links and write them straight into this field — see Connect your AI assistant.
• Private notes — visible only to you; each teammate has their own.
• Tags and Source Links
• Attachments — drag and drop files onto the drop zone, or browse
• Comments — discussion attached to the story

Editing safely with a team

The editor is built so two people can work on the same story without destroying each other's work:

• Saves only send the fields you actually changed. Editing the notes will never overwrite a teammate's simultaneous change to the title.
• If someone else changed the same field while you were editing, your save is stopped and a banner tells you which fields conflict. Choose Keep my version to overwrite, or Discard mine, load theirs to take their version.
• In-progress edits are mirrored to your browser. If you close the tab, crash, or get logged out, the editor restores your unsaved draft the next time you open that story, with a Discard draft option.
• Closing the editor with unsaved changes asks you to confirm; the draft is kept either way.

The master clock

The clock in the board header runs the show: Start, Pause, Resume, End, plus undo and reset buttons. The status badge reads READY before you start, LIVE while the show is running (with a pause indicator when paused), and ENDED after. Click the time itself to toggle between the elapsed show timer and a wall clock. Clock controls require the live-clock permission.

For running the show itself, most producers switch to the producer view; hosts use the host view.
