Is the Novel Plan template free?
Yes. The current Moodboard experience and its starter templates are available without a paid subscription. Paid plans are not yet for sale.
Can I customize the Novel Plan template?
Yes. Rename, remove, reorder, or extend the sections and add your own images, notes, links, files, colors, tasks, and sketches.

No. Keep only the sections that help your project reach a clear decision. A smaller, deliberate board is better than a complete-looking board filled with irrelevant material.
