How does the chooser differ from the studio on a share decision you finish in 13 minutes?

The chooser chooses the form of a share decision. The studio draws the form you already chose. Spend the first of your 13 minutes in the chooser so you do not decorate a chart the rule already rejected. Open the studio only after the avoid note is clear.

Use the chooser to accept or reject the share decision. Use the studio to place titles, series, and labels on the form that survived. A 13-minute job that starts in the studio usually spends the time on a chart the chooser would have blocked.

Chooser first

The chooser is a rule about the share decision, not a drawing. Read the use line and the avoid line. If you are past 13 minutes and still unsure, you have not chosen yet.

Studio second

The studio assumes the share decision already has a form. It is where you set the title, the series, and the source line. Going there before the rule wastes the 13 minutes on decoration.

What not to mix

Do not treat the chooser as a gallery of finished pictures, and do not treat the studio as the place that tells you a share decision is wrong. Each page has one job. 13 minutes is enough for both if you keep that order.

A short loop — chooser-vs-studio-share

Read the chooser, name the form, then open the studio and stop when the share decision matches that form. If it does not, go back. Do not add a second chart inside the same 13 minutes.

This page separates the chooser from the studio for a share decision of about 13 minutes. It does not change studio sanitizing and it does not draw the chart for you.

Questions

Can the studio replace the chooser for a share decision?
No. The studio does not tell you to avoid a form. The chooser does. A 13-minute skip of that page is how weak charts get drawn.
What if the share decision is already on the canvas?
Step back to the chooser and check the avoid note before you polish. 13 extra minutes of color will not fix a wrong form.
Does the studio sanitize a share decision I chose badly?
Sanitizing keeps the shape safe to draw. It does not decide that a share decision should have been a different chart. That decision stays in the chooser, even after 13 minutes of editing.
