The Arcs Module is a tool for tracking how your characters and other story elements change over time. Every character will change throughout your story, and tracking their progress is key to ensure they're headed in the right direction.
Remember that Arcs relies on your timeline to function. If you don't have any events, Blaze won't have reference points for when your character changes!
It's also important to note that the events along the top of the Arcs module are ordered based on your timeline's settings. By default, they will appear in chronological order based on the time set in the events regardless of their location on the actual timeline. If you disable time units in the timeline, Arcs will organize it's events based on the location of events as they appear in your timeline. All of this means, if you don't set the specific times for your events in the Timeline module, make sure to disable the time units in the timeline's options. Otherwise, your events may appear out of order in the Arcs module.
