Keep challenge outcomes if you remove a challenge from a scene
I often struggle with when/how to implement certain challenges I have planned, which means I sometimes add then remove challenges (on occasion multiple times) from scenes. It's frustrating to write two separate outcomes, only to have to re-write (or copy text, delete the challenge, then paste and edit) challenges. I would like to see an option to "Remove with outcomes intact" option for challenges, so if I decide to use the challenge later I can simply choose "Challenge 1 w/outcomes" from my cards.

This is a nice idea! Actually, I'd take it one step further--allow the outcomes to be written before posting the challenge to a scene.
I know the intent of challenges in Storium is to allow them to be reusable, with the outcomes text changing each time they come into play, but I've found it much more helpful to players to change up the title and description text each time too, so I'm not reusing cards basically at all--I'll create a copy and change up the text to reflect the current situation.
I can't help but wonder, therefore, if it might be better for Storium to just let us do the whole challenge setup and save that (possibly excluding the points setting), then later put that into the scene.
