 ## Scope
 
 `scope` says what an ask decides: `mock` (the default), `state` (add `state`)
-or `part` (add `part`, the `data-part` name).
+or `part` (add `part`, the `data-part` name). Scope also says where the user
+sees it: the viewer shows each state with its own questions. A `state` ask
+shows on that state, a `part` ask on every state that marks the part, and a
+`mock` ask whose options name variants on every state that has them (any
+other `mock` ask on every state); answered once, it counts once.
+
+Only open asks are shown and counted ("1 of 3"). Once a Send answers one, it
+folds into a read-only Answered list and stays out of the next round, so ask
+new questions for what is still open rather than re-sending answered ones; the
+user changes a sent answer only on purpose, and the change arrives as a normal
+Send.
 
 ## Options
 
 An option binds to one of:
 
 - a `variant`: picking it accepts that variant and archives its siblings in
-  that state.
+  that state. Add `version` to offer one version of it (`"version": 2`, CLI
+  `--option Before=quiet@2`): two options can be two versions of one variant,
+  and the picked one is put in use. It needs the ask's `state` when the mock
+  has several.
 - a knob `set`: picking it applies those values live.
 - nothing: a plain pill.
 
 Options that change how something looks carry a `variant` or a knob `set`,
 so the user sees them live. Plain pills only for what can't be seen.
 
+When one question only makes sense once another is answered (an accent's
+placement depends on the palette), give it `after: "<that ask's id>"` (CLI
+`--after palette`). It stays closed until that one is answered, then its
+pictures render with that answer and say so. Ask the deciding question first.
+
 The viewer shows a picture of each option it can render. `multi: true` allows
 several answers. Option ids default to the slugged label. Reusing an ask `id`
 replaces that ask. The viewer adds an "Other…" write-in and a note to every
 ask (both take attached images), so don't add your own; the option id `other`
 is reserved.
 
+## Slots
+
+A slot is one region with alternative fills, in one html. Give each
+alternative the same `data-part` and its own `data-fill`:
+
+```html
+<section data-part="entry" data-part-label="Entry" data-fill="dots" data-fill-label="Typing dots">
+  …
+</section>
+<section data-part="entry" data-fill="skeleton">…</section>
+<section data-part="entry" data-fill="filling" data-fill-default>…</section>
+```
+
+The first fill is the default unless one carries `data-fill-default`. The
+server derives a select knob at the part's name and shows only the chosen
+fill, so you write no switching CSS; give each fill whatever display it
+needs. Draw anything inside a fill, including further slots: a slot inside a
+fill is asked only while that fill is chosen, right after its parent's
+question.
+
+Publish returns the slots it found and, for each one no ask binds, a ready
+`suggestedSlotAsks` entry: `scope: "part"`, one option per fill with
+`set: {"entry": "<fill>"}`. Send them with `ask`, relabelled if you like. On a
+pick the viewer outlines the fill on stage. `fills` in publish replaces or
+adds one fill without resending the page (topic `feedback`).
+
+Use a slot when the alternatives differ in one region; use variants when the
+whole screen differs. Both mix: variants are looks, each look may have slots.
+
 ## The Look ask
 
 When you publish variants, ask `scope: "mock"` with one option per variant, and
 ask it first. Questions appear in the order you ask them. This one is titled
-"Look" and unlocks Mix, which lets the user borrow a part from another look.
+"Look". Tune then offers, per part, to borrow it from another look.
 Variants without a Look ask get a plain switcher in the frame header.
