Creating / managing entities
Browsing entities
Entities in articy:draft are located within the "Entities" subfolder in the navigator 1. There, you can create sub-folders (like "Main Characters" 2 in the image above) and organize your entities in your custom folder structure. Each entity is represented by an "entity tile" 3 in tiles view, or as a list entry in list view (see below).
In list view 4, each entity is shown as a row in the list 5 with the icon, name and claiming state (MULTI-USER).
Creating entities
To create entities, select an entity folder in the navigator 6 and click the "create entity icon 7 in the toolbar. (Next to the entity icon, there is also a "create folder" icon.)
Depending on the selected view mode, a new tile 8 or list entry will be created for your new entity. Please specify the entity name now. (You can always change it later.)
When creating an entity via the right-click context menu you can assign assign a template 9 directly when creating the entity.
