How to view cards for all chapters and scenes at the same time on the corkboard?

When I want to organize my manuscript (a novel with chapters and scenes) on the corkboard, I cannot get it to display both chapters and scenes at the same time. When I click on “Manuscript” in the binder, I only see the cards for the chapters, but not the scenes inside them. When I click on one chapter, I only see the cards of the scenes in that chapter, but not those from other chapters. When I hold and click multiple folders and text documents, I see all their cards on the corkboard, but I can no longer rearrange them (e.g. it is not possible to move a scene from one chapter to another).

So how can I view all cards – for parts, chapters, and scenes – on the corkboard at the same time to arrange them across the whole manuscript?

Select only the folders, not the text documents within them. This will create “stacked” corkboards, one for each folder, and you can drag between folders.

It’s only possible to do this with one level of hierarchy, though. That is, you can set it up to allow you to drag chapters between parts, or scenes between chapters, but not both. (Although you can split the Editor and have two corkboards.)

(See Section 8.2.8 in the manual for more information.)

Ah, I see, thank you. That works.
