Your campaign is a run sheet of acts, and each act holds its scenes in the order you mean to play them. Here's how to shape it.

Create campaign, with its first act and scenes
Add an act
Add act starts a new chapter of your story. Give it a name, like Into the Sewers, and press Next.
New act
i
← Create campaign
This makes a brand new act.
Next creates it and takes you straight to its first scene. If you cancel that scene, the act is removed with it.
Act name
A chapter of your story, like The Rusty Flagon or Into the Sewers.
Into the Sewers
CancelNext
New act, with its name typed in
Critsmith makes the act and takes you straight into the scene wizard for its first scene, because an act always starts with a scene. If you cancel that scene, the new act goes with it.
When you press Next
Into the Sewers is made, as act 2
Its first scene opens in the scene wizard
Cancel that scene, and the act goes too
What happens when you press Next
Rename and reorder
To rename an act, type over its name and press Save.
The arrows move an act up or down, and the arrows on a scene move it up or down within its act. The Run screen's Next button follows this order, so keeping it tidy now saves you hunting for the right scene at the table.
