Simple Scene Control
Reference for the scene playback panel.
Simple Scene Control is a compact surface for running scenes during a show. It plays and monitors but it does not edit.
This panel is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The Simple Scene Control panel was a temporary solution to easily play scenes. ControlDecks and ControlMappings are now a way better way to control scenes, and the Simple Scene Control panel will be removed in a future release.

Card size
The arrow on a card expands it to the full step list or collapses it to just the current step. On a busy show, collapsed cards are visually more compact.
Choosing what is shown
Select visible scenes picks the subset of scenes on the panel. The data is stored with the layout, so different layouts can show different sets.
To save the visiable scenes, save a custom layout. The default layout always shows all scenes.
The layout button switches the cards between a horizontal and a vertical arrangement.
