# First breakdown

# Your first breakdown

Once you have a script, the breakdown extracts:

* **Scenes:** INT/EXT locations with time of day
* **Characters:** From dialogue cues
* **Locations:** From scene headings

Open the **Breakdown** tab to see and edit your scenes.

Use the category views (Characters, Locations, Props, etc.) to review and merge duplicates.

Each entity (character, location, scene, item) has a **board** where you can add notes, links, cast members, and contacts.
