In the WriteItNow software the tab folder is called Ideas, and you cannot change that in WriteItNow 3. The Writer's Interface however uses the Ideas folder for its own Flashbacks folder. Ideas equals Flashbacks here. The Writer's Interface is full of ideas everywhere and so we chose Flashbacks instead.

In The Writer's Interface you get a full list of types of flashbacks. We have not seen this anywhere else, so it might be a valuable list to have? Note on the right column we give how Flashbacks function in story. Then you as writer read and understand the types of flashbacks and weave them into your story planning.

We note again, so you are not confused, you work on a duplicate of The Writer's Interface. In the duplicate you plan your own story and even write it. Thus when you read about how a Flashback functions, like an Emotional Flashback, this triggers in your writer's imagination maybe three important story scenes or events that are Emotional Flashbacks.

Next you push the Plus Button above the story text page to give you a new Ideas page which is really in The Writer's Interface a Flashbacks page. Then you start writing that Flashback Scene right there when you have the fresh idea. You only need to write a list of story-elements for the scene, or a descriptive paragraph or two. Three flashback scenes should each get a separate page. Press the new page, plus button three times for three scenes. The titles will appear in the left column. Write your notes in, or a complete first draft scene.

To create a finished novel you often have to write extra scenes as they come to you. Thus your story imagination has come up with three Emotional Flashback scenes which you have written the descriptions to, or the text itself. Only as you develop your whole story do you decide to include any of these scenes, because they fit into your story development. It's like they do with movies. They film extra scenes but edit a few out because they are not needed for the story development or impact of the movie, or turn out not to be directly relevant.

The Writer's Interface doesn't tell you what to do, not quite, but it acts as a professional editor would in giving you some damn good suggestions to start from. That's the point. The Writer's Interface is your guide and maybe one of your supportive editors also.
