Write a screenplay
On the Script page in your project's left column you write screenplays, stories and texts. Everyone in the project can read and write them, and whatever you type is saved by itself a second later.
Being a member of the project is enough.
To give a note to someone else, you need to be the founder or a lead with the Tasks permission.
Only whoever started a script, the founder or a lead who manages content can delete it.
Start a new script
On the Script page, press New script. Under Kind, pick Screenplay, Story or Text, then set the name, the language and the page size (A4 or US Letter). Then press Create and start writing.
If you already have a file, Import brings in Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, Word (.docx), PDF or plain text.
Format the lines
Every line of a screenplay has a kind: Scene heading, Action, Character, Parenthetical, Dialogue, Transition and Shot. Pick it with Ctrl 1–7 or from the Line kind list in the toolbar.
- Enter starts the next line with the right kind: dialogue after a character, action after dialogue.
- Tab changes the kind of an empty line; on a line with words it starts the one that usually follows, such as a parenthetical after a character.
One page is about one minute.
Turn a note into a task
Select some words on the page and press Add note. Choose yourself or a teammate under To, write the note and press Add note. The note lands in the pipeline's To do column as a task, and the person is told.
Whoever fixes the line presses Done and the task moves to In review. The project's owner or a lead who manages tasks then presses Approve or Request changes. An approved note becomes passive.
Export and share
Export in the header gives you PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain and Word (.docx); .fdx and Fountain are only for screenplays. Share copies the link or sends it to a channel. Invite sends the link straight to the teammates you choose as a direct message.
Use Add a drawing to this line beside a scene heading, action or character line; the drawings line up in the Storyboard tab.
Something went wrong?
It says “Someone else saved too”.
A teammate saved while you were writing. Open theirs brings up their version, Save mine keeps yours.
I can't give a note to anyone else.
If To lists only you, you can't hand out tasks in this project. Ask the founder for the Tasks permission.
