Allow "take-backs"
It'd be cool if a player could undo a move at the request of another player. Say, Alice writes a move and Bob says, "Alice, could you not close it out? I've got a great idea I want to bring in." Or for Eve to say, "Alice, that card doesn't quite fit for my backstory, could you try a different one?"
Narrators are able to request revisions on any move within a scene, and the most recent move is editable without narrator request. Thanks!

Definitely, the possibility to update/add something to any post would be great. May be restrict the delete option for the narrator only ?

A player's ability to delete their move, if it's the most recent one, would help a lot, but wouldn't cover everything. If another player or the narrator posts just minutes after the move that needs a correction, there's no ability to change it to match someone else's actions or backstory.
Possibly, narrators should have the ability to edit posts with notes--maybe not remove any content, but make additional notes inside the post that clarify or correct info. ("Note: Grelcon the Wise spent 2 hours, not 14, scrying into his mirror, before Scamper the thief interrupted him.")

This might get tricky if someone says "I walked into a room checking for bad guys" and someone else saying "I follow carefully after them" then deleting the first comment would invalidate the second reaction.
Perhaps having an edit system that would make changes subject to narrator approval? -

yeah, this would be beneficial. we ran into this in a game as well. just a learning the system hiccup that a take-back would have fixed much easier.

It'd be nice if players or narrators could delete any move. Of course, you'd want some checks and balances- say players need narrator approval, and both sides can still view a deleted move.

As Schevus said, unexpected growing pains, or a player who didn't necessarily get all the information when they made their move, or simply because an earlier player really needs to edit their move, are several reasons we've seen that this would be an excellent feature!

We've just run into a scenario where we really wanted the ability to delete a move(s), so that would be awesome and is hopefully covered under this review.

I think it might be better if you could take it back into a draft instead of outright deleting it.
So A posts, then B requests a change. A takes back and makes a tiny edit, reposts.
Or if A's post closes a challenge, but B says they wanted to get some non-card dialog in first. So A takes back, B & C finish their conversation, A reposts.
