I outline fully in prose like in picrel from my wip(I don't expect anyone to read it so it's whatever); I treat it as a 0.5 first draft I use as a basis for the actual first draft which will obviously be a lot more in-depth and nuanced per chapter. Sometimes there may be specific parts that are more elaborate in a scene than others like dialogue or specific things but this is the general gist of the whole thing(15k words so far).
My previous attempt at trying to pants write a full length 3-volume series was a total disaster and I dropped it 400k words in. I've been experimenting with a full outline since then, a short story and it worked much better than I expected so I'm doing it again with a full novel length work. So far so good.
