Use staging without losing your place

The staging tray is a shared holding area below your binder page. It lets you collect possibilities before committing to an arrangement.

Start here

Open a binder → Staging tray below the page.

Open the binder editor →
  1. Stage a new find

    In the card library or card details, choose the tray button. It adds a copy to staging without putting it on the page. The + button is the placement action.

  2. Move a card out of a pocket

    Use its Move to staging action, hold and drag it to the tray, or choose Select cards → Move to staging for a group. This moves those copies with their printing, ownership and sleeve.

  3. Place one card

    Hold a staged card and drag it into the pocket you want, or select an empty pocket and use the staged card’s + button. Confirm you are in a binder for that card’s game.

  4. Fill available spaces

    Open Tray actions → Place in empty pockets. Matching cards fill available pockets from the current page onward. It does not replace occupied pockets, wrap to earlier pages or add pages automatically. Cards that do not fit remain staged.

  5. Make room carefully

    The tray holds up to 200 cards and retained artwork items. Use × to remove an individual item. Tray actions → Clear asks before clearing the tray; your binder pages stay as they are. Undo reverses a session change.

Something not working?

If a merge, move or paste stops, make room in staging first. If staged cards refuse to enter a binder, check the game, page capacity and Pokédex species restrictions.
