How it's used
Refers specifically to the structural framework or skeletal plan of a project, essay, or presentation. It implies a logical progression of ideas rather than just a list of bullet points. While it can be used in casual settings, it often appears in academic or professional contexts.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 計劃, which refers to a broader plan or strategy. An outline is strictly the structural arrangement of content, whereas a plan involves the steps and actions taken to achieve a goal.
