# Character Plot

The Character plot shows mic allocations from each character’s perspective.

Characters appear down the left, with scenes across the top.

## Reading a cell

A cell shows the number of the mic allocated to that character in the scene.

If no mic is allocated, the app shows a dash.

If the character has multiple mics, the cell shows all relevant mic numbers.

Handovers involving the character appear beneath the allocation.

## Handovers

Handover text identifies the mic and the person or destination involved.

A handover can appear in a scene where the character has no allocation. For example, a character may hand over a mic during a blank scene before the next wearer needs it.

The handover’s placement comes from the allocation sequence, rather than from the character’s current cell alone.

See [Understanding Handovers](/understanding-handovers).

## Editing allocations

Use the **Mic plot** to change allocations.

The Character plot updates from the same show data, so there is no separate character allocation plan to maintain.

## Multiple-mic warnings

Red highlighting identifies multiple allocations involving the character or their linked actor.

For example, two different characters may each have one mic but still produce a warning because the same actor plays both.

Use the allocation review controls to mark deliberate multiple-mic arrangements as intentional.

## Character order

The row order follows the Characters list in Production setup.

Use its up and down controls to change the order.

## Scrolling

Character names and scene headings remain visible while scrolling through the table.

## Sharing and printing

Use:

* **Export CSV** to save the character plot as a CSV file.
* **Copy table** to copy a table for pasting into another application.
* **Print → Character plot** to print a formatted report.

The copied table uses a simplified layout for sharing. Its formatting differs from the table inside StageMic.
