What "Needs a look" means
The short list on your front page where Cranes checks with you instead of guessing.
When your thinking is redrafted, Cranes carries your pins, names, placements, highlights, and archives over to the new chapters. Most of the time the match is clear. When it isn’t, Cranes doesn’t guess. It lists the choice on your front page under Needs a look and lets you decide.
Here’s what you might see, and what to do.
A choice with no clear home
Your pin on “…” has no clear home after the redraft.
The chapter you pinned, named, placed, or highlighted was reshaped, and no single new chapter clearly carries it. If Cranes found a close match, it names it: choose Apply it there to move your choice to that chapter. Otherwise choose Let go.
Kept archived after a redraft
“…” stayed archived after the redraft because it carries what was in “…”, which you archived.
A new chapter picked up material from one you had archived, so Cranes kept it archived rather than let it back in quietly. Choose Keep it archived or Restore.
Came back up
“…” came back up: new entries since you archived it support it.
Something you’ve written since supports a chapter you archived. It’s still archived; this is just so you know. Open it and restore it if you’d like it back.
A name that no longer fits
“…” has changed since you named it. Cranes would call it “…” now.
You renamed this chapter, and it has since moved far enough that your title might not fit. Open the chapter and choose Keep your title or Use Cranes’ title.
New chapters in an archived part
1 new chapter landed in …, which you archived. It’s still in use.
Cranes placed a new chapter in a part you archived. Archiving a part doesn’t archive chapters that arrive later, so this one is live. You’ll find it under the archived part on the Archived page. Archive it too if you like.
On the team’s thinking
Owners and admins may also see that members’ work departs from a chapter the team adopted, and in how many places. See Adopt a chapter as the team’s position.
