References in Kindling

References help you track people, places, and story elements across scenes. Each reference can include notes and custom attributes, and you can link them to specific scenes.

Reference Types

Kindling supports these reference types:

• Characters
• Locations
• Items
• Objectives
• Organizations

References Panel Overview

The References panel shows tabs for each enabled reference type and lets you create, edit, and link references.

Linking References to Scenes

When a scene is selected:

• References linked to the scene appear first
• Unlinked references appear after
• Drag references to set per-scene ordering
• Expand/collapse state is saved per scene

Editing Reference Details

Each reference includes:

• Name
• Description
• Notes
• Custom attributes (key/value pairs)

Reference Type Settings

Use the settings cog in the References panel to enable or disable reference types per project.
