Production
Track every carousel from draft to published.
Open Production in the sidebar — a kanban board for every deck in your
folder. Stages are stored in slides/.production-board.json (not in your
screen files or in project.json).
Stages
| Stage | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Still shaping — not ready for formal review. |
| In review | Walking screens with your assistant or a stakeholder. |
| Ready | Every screen approved — OK to export. |
| Published | You already exported and posted manually (or archived after go-live). |
Drag cards between columns as your process evolves. Moving a card to Published is just a marker you set — Casper does not post to social networks or know when you post; stages exist for your own tracking.
Card previews
Each card shows the first screen so you recognise the deck without opening it.
Click a card to open its action popover:
- Previous stage / Next stage — move one step without dragging.
- Edit — open publication metadata (channels, notes, published date).
- Open deck — jump to the slide editor.
Publication metadata
Record where you plan to post and optional ops notes — useful for your own tracking, not for auto-posting.
- On Production, click a deck card.
- Choose Edit in the popover.
- In the dialog:
- Check publish channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletter, etc.).
- Set a primary channel if you use several.
- Add notes (up to 2,000 characters).
- When the deck is already in Published, you can set published date to now.
Save — metadata stays with the deck on this machine.
Workflow
- Iterate in Review and refine.
- Move to Ready when you sign off.
- Export, post manually, then Published.
