Map and Playtest

Use visual routing and test runs to catch broken paths before readers do.

Last reviewed 14 August 2026

Summary

Use visual routing and test runs to catch broken paths before readers do.

Steps

  1. Open Map to review chapters, scenes, and connections.
  2. Run Playtest from the start and from important branches.
  3. Fix unreachable, dead-end, or invalid routes before publishing.

What to expect

  • Playtest is the practical check for branching logic.
  • Validation should block obvious broken publication states.

Troubleshooting

  • If the map is crowded, test smaller branches individually.
  • If Playtest freezes, record the route and open creator support.
