How the Ideas Screen Works
A Space for Early Concepts
The Ideas screen is not for active projects — it’s for:
- Brainstorming
- Draft thoughts
- Unstructured content ideas
- Quick notes you want to revisit later Nothing you add here affects your production workflow until you decide it should.
Add Details to an Idea
Inside each idea you can:
- Add links
- Attach files
- Write notes
- Flesh out concepts
- Leave comments with your team This makes it easy to develop ideas before they become real projects.
Collaborate in the Planning Stage
Your team can:
- Review early thoughts
- Comment on ideas
- Add inspiration or reference materials
- Help refine concepts before production begins It’s a shared space for top-of-funnel ideation.
Converting an Idea Into a Project
Drag and Drop
When an idea is ready to move forward:
- Drag it from the Ideas column into any production column (e.g., Draft, Write, Edit)Clipflow will automatically convert the idea into a project.
- You can also select to convert to project inside the idea from the top right.
What Happens After Conversion
Once an idea becomes a project, you instantly unlock:
- Tasks
- Packaging
- Media files
- Thumbnails
- Pages
- Channels
- Full collaboration tools It becomes a complete, structured workspace for production.
Summary
The Ideas screen helps you capture and develop concepts without committing to a full project. You can add notes, files, links, and comments, then convert ideas into active projects with a simple drag.
Once converted, all Clipflow tools become available for full production.
