An issue holds pages. In Full Script, each page holds panels: a description plus dialogue, captions and SFX. In Marvel Style, you write a plot for each page first. When the art comes back, you add panels, dialogue, captions and SFX against it, with no need to convert to Full Script. In Long Form, the whole issue is one continuous manuscript. Characters you add in the Story Bible autocomplete in dialogue.
Switching modes is safe. Each mode keeps its own writing, hidden while another mode is active.

Storage
?Art on series you’re invited to counts toward their owner’s storage, not yours. Uploads that never finished stop counting after a day. Art nothing uses any more (not even History) still counts, and is kept for 30 days, then deleted. Art history you can still see is kept.
