Next piece organizer
Use this when the next piece is not finished. The sources are already saved, and what you meant to use them for is still in your own words.
The center is a piece you are about to write, not an open question. The sources and your own angle stay together. Aside keeps the sources you saved, the angle you wrote, and an idea you added later, in one collection you name. You write the outline. Aside does not write the draft, does not build the outline for you, and does not pull material in from other apps by itself.
