Write a mission in the wizard

Six steps from concept to after action, saved as you type, with each drop previewed exactly as it will post.

Admin, or Unit Leader with the unit role Web — 🗂️ Campaigns → a campaign → a mission

How to do it

  1. Open a mission from its campaign. The wizard starts on the first step that is not locked yet.
  2. Fill in the step. Fields marked * are needed to lock it; the step's chip turns into 🔒 when they are all filled. Each step's tab shows the date it should lock by and how many days are left — red once it is overdue.
  3. Watch the panel on the right: the drop preview is exactly what the bot will post, and Checks flags mistakes as you go. Press Preview in Discord to see the drop formatted the way readers will see it — headings, bold, quotes, times in your own time zone and images.
  4. In Orders, add the phases in order. Give each its AO and press + Add objective to pick from the objectives library.
  5. When a drop reads right, press Approve under its preview. It posts by itself at its time — see Approve and post the drops.

Worth knowing

  • Everything saves a moment after you stop typing — the top right says when. Leave the page while a save is pending and the browser asks first.
  • Paste a screenshot straight into an image field, drop a file on it, or use Upload. PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, up to 8 MB.
  • Drag rows and phases by their ⠿ handle, or use ↑ and ↓.
  • Held back for Zeus in the Intelligence step is never posted or exported.
  • A phase reads best with one primary objective, one secondary and one complication; Checks says when one is missing. With Success looks like left empty, the OPORD uses the primary objectives' success conditions.
  • Two people editing the same field at once: the last save wins. Different fields are fine.
  • The wizard needs JavaScript. The Schedule page shows the mission, its drops and checks without it.
