Getting started
Your dashboard
A tour of where everything lives when you log in.
Your dashboard is home base. Every time you log in to Plot, this is where you land — and everything you've ever made, plus everything shared with you, is one click away.
Only you can see your dashboard. Nothing on this page is public. Documents only go out when you decide to share them.
The three tabs
At the top, you'll find three tabs — one for each kind of document Plot makes:
- Stage plots — every stage drawing you've made.
- Riders — every written rider.
- Input lists — every channel list.
Click a tab to see just that type. Click any item in a list to open its editor and start working on it.
Recent
Near the top, a Recent section shows the documents you've touched most recently, across all three types. Handy when you're jumping between, say, this weekend's rider and next month's stage plot — you don't have to remember which tab each one lives under.
Shared with me
Further down, you'll see a Shared with me section. Anything somebody else has invited you to collaborate on shows up here, whether you're an owner, editor, or viewer.
The New button
The most important button on the page is New. Click it and you can pick what to make: a stage plot, a rider, or an input list. A fresh document opens in the editor, ready for you to start filling it in.

The editor opens with a blank template you can make your own.
Settings
In the corner, you'll find your account settings. This is where you update your name, change your password, switch the interface language, and manage anything else tied to your account. Nothing here affects the documents themselves — it's all about you.
A note on what's public
Nothing on your dashboard is visible to anyone else by default. Documents become shareable only when you create a share link for them, and you can revoke those links any time from inside the document itself.
What's next
Now that you know your way around, try creating your first stage plot — it's the quickest way to get a feel for how Plot works.
