# Read and edit the scenario card

Check and edit the scene, setting, and dialogue for each panel on the scenario card before anything is drawn.

## Overview

When Zennyang breaks your story into panels, a “Scenario ready” card appears. Think of it as the blueprint for your comic: the art is drawn from what’s on the card, so give it a careful look before you draw. Editing the card doesn’t cost any credits.

## What’s on the card

The card’s title shows the total number of panels, or the number of pages if your scenario puts several panels on each image. Below that, every panel (or page) has these sections. If a panel is folded into a short summary, click its **Edit** button (or the summary itself) to open it, then edit.

| Section | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| **Scene** | What happens in the panel. It guides the drawing, but it never appears as text on the image. |
| **Background** | A short note on where it happens. You can also attach an image to use as the background. |
| **💬 Dialogue & narration (shown as text on the image)** | The text that goes into the art as speech bubbles and narration. |

## Edit the scene and setting

1. Click the **Scene** text to change what happens in the panel.
2. In **Background**, jot down the place, time, weather, and so on.
3. If a panel has to happen in one specific place, click **Attach image** right below the **Background** box. If an image is already attached, click **Change** instead. Pick a setting you’ve saved in a world, or click **Upload a photo** to upload a photo.

> **Tip:** Only attach a background image to panels that really need that exact place. Without one, the panel follows the background text. Backgrounds Zennyang attached on its own are marked **Picked by AI**, and you can take them off with **Remove**.

## Edit the dialogue

- Click a line to edit it in place, or use the delete button next to it to remove it.
- To add a line, choose who says it (**Narration** or one of the characters), type it, and click the add button.
- On a character’s line you can choose a bubble style (**Normal**, **Shout**, **Whisper**, or **Thought**) and an **Expression**. On a narration line you can choose the box style (**Square caption** or **Rounded caption**).
- If a panel has no dialogue, you can turn its scene sentence into narration with **Show on the image**.

> **Note:** There’s a limit to how many lines one panel can hold. The more dialogue you pack in, the more likely the lettering is to come out wrong, so a few short lines per panel works best.

## Change a page’s panel layout

Click the panel layout tag on a page to choose how many panels it has and how they’re arranged.

- Before you pick a layout, choose **This page only**, **This and later pages**, or **All pages** above the layouts. The layout you pick next is applied to those pages at once.
- Use **Set it yourself** to set the number of rows and panels per row, then click **Use this layout**.
- To draw the panel shapes yourself, choose **Draw your own panels**. See [Split a page into panels](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/studio/frame-layout).
- To keep using the same layout for this comic from now on, click **Save as this work’s layout**.

> **Note:** If you change a page’s panel count, the draw button is replaced by **Re-split scenes to match the new cuts**. Click it to re-split the scenes on just the pages you changed. It’s free.

## Start drawing

1. When you’re done checking, click **Draw as-is**. The button shows the number of panels (or pages) and the estimated credit range from Standard to Pro.

2. On the **How should I draw it? Choose based on credit cost.** screen, choose **Standard mode** or **Pro mode**. Each shows the price per image and the total.

3. Drawing starts as soon as you pick one. To go back to the card without drawing, click **Back**.

> **Tip:** If a character in the scene has saved looks (outfit, hairstyle, or age), you’ll see an option above the scenario card to choose which look they appear in. See [Character looks](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/characters/character-looks).

## FAQ

**I want to add or remove panels.**

Just tell Zennyang in the chat, and it will rework the scenario with more or fewer panels for free. While the card is showing, say something like “Cut it down to 5 panels” or “Add one more panel at the end.”

**It says I don’t have enough credits instead of showing the draw button.**

When you have fewer credits than one image costs, a top-up notice replaces the draw button. Your scenario stays as it is and you can keep editing it. Top up on the **Pricing** page, then draw from the same card.

**I’m not sure whether to pick Standard or Pro.**

If you’re just starting, draw a quick draft in Standard mode and redraw only the panels you’re not happy with in Pro mode. Each redrawn panel costs that mode’s per-image price again. For how the two differ, see [Choose Standard or Pro](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/agent/model-tiers).
