Hi more experienced writers than I,

I have been struggling to figure out how to outline a story (script) I am writing to put all my ideas together. I would like to make an Anthology where it starts off with my main character placing the setting, and then over the course of the story adding in other characters which support and explain the main character's journey to ultimately the end. Connecting and weaving all the plot points together to make sense at the end. I also would like to have the characters introduced have their own smaller arcs to give depth to my story but my ultimate question is how do I outline this in a way that makes sense and is easy to reference to while writing. Thanks for any resources offered or ideas shared.
