Revision colours and locked pages — honest status
Production workflows are where marketing exaggerations go to die. A coordinator needs to know exactly which PDF leaves the building and which revision colour is current — a single wrong colour on set is a real, expensive problem. So Inkwell marks production tooling honestly: some of it is live, some is on the Pro roadmap, and none of it is hidden behind a compare-page footnote. Here is the exact line between the two.
What ships today
The handoff backbone is live now. Plot imports and exports Final Draft (FDX) and Fountain, and exports industry-formatted PDF — so you can move a script into Inkwell, keep writing, and send the production office a file in the format it expects. That is what makes switching possible without abandoning the room you already answer to.
The WGA revision-colour sequence itself ships too — white, blue, pink, yellow, green, goldenrod, buff, salmon, cherry, the full standard run. The colours a coordinator recognises are part of the platform, not a someday promise.
What is on the Pro roadmap
The full production-revision workflow — the machinery that ties those colours to a locked script — is what we are still building, and it is listed as Up next on the roadmap. That means the pieces a shooting script depends on once pages lock:
- Locked pages and stable numbering, so that once production begins everyone refers to the same page and scene numbers.
- A-pages — inserted pages that keep a locked script's numbering intact when new material lands after the lock.
- Colour-tracked revision rounds bound to save points, so you can see precisely what changed between the table-read draft, the director's pass, and the lock.
Until that workflow ships on Pro, compare pages mark full locked-script parity as partial — deliberately. Import preserves your structure today; what it does not yet do is run the whole coloured-revision lifecycle end to end.
So if you are asking the WGA-workflow question directly — can I run a locked, colour-revised shooting script through Inkwell today? — the honest answer is: the colours and the FDX/PDF handoff are here now; the full locked-page revision workflow is coming to Pro and is marked partial until it is. Everything you write is yours and exportable at every step, so nothing about that timeline traps your script.
