Continue a chat reply that was cut off

When a chat reply stops partway, Continue picks it up where it stopped.

  • Continue appears on the newest reply that was cut off.
  • A later question, or Make these changes, knows the earlier reply was cut off.

Import a new draft into the project it belongs to

Import "Pilot v3.fdx" beside your Pilot project and Plot offers it as a new draft of Pilot, saved as a save point with the earlier draft kept in History.

  • The import dialog offers "A new draft of" a project when the file's name matches it, give or take a draft number or a date.
  • After any screenplay import, See what changed opens History comparing the replaced draft with the imported file, and shows only the lines the new draft changed.
  • A new project you create without typing a title takes the name the field shows.

Add a note on a phone by tapping its line

On a phone, choose Add note and tap the line the note is about; Plot opens the note there, with the line still in view.

  • Add note is on the notes bar at the foot of the page and in the Notes list.
  • The notes bar steps aside while you type in the script and comes back when you close the keyboard.

Write in Canadian English

Canadian English joins American, British and Australian English as a writing language, for spellcheck and for the AI's spelling.

  • Choose it in Document settings → Your view → Your default language, or give one script its own Script language.
  • The AI follows Canadian spelling, with British -our and -re endings and American -ize.
  • Automatic picks it from a Canadian English browser, and settings search finds it as Canadian English or en-CA.
  • The About page lists the languages Inkwell's interface comes in and the languages you can write in.

Writer plans can pick Sonnet-tier models

Every paid plan can choose a Sonnet-tier model in the model picker, and Pro adds Opus-tier models.

  • On Writer, choose a Sonnet-tier model for a skill, or in the Chat tab on Ask.
  • On Auto, Plan and Agent, choose it in the model and effort chip.

5 updates

Answer the agent in one card, and see its follow-up where you work

Every kind of question the agent asks now answers in one compact card, and a run you revisit is reviewed on your own draft with its earlier changes.

  • Number and scale questions use the same compact card as the rest: a short scale is a row of points, a longer one a slider with an exact field, and the agent's suggestion is marked but never sent until you take it.
  • The agent can number a question's answers or mark each one with an icon, and on a question with several answers every answer it recommends is marked.
  • Change an answer and the follow-up run stays in the same chat, keeps counting its questions from where the last run left off, and offers its changes as one review on your draft, together with the earlier run's changes you had not decided yet.
  • If you answer while the agent is still working and your answer overturns what it assumed, it takes one more turn to act on your answer instead of finishing over it.
  • Show on page brings the line to the middle of the page, with its character cue in view.

Bring in a moved line without its old scene

When you choose which changes to incorporate, a line moved into another scene now goes with the scene it lands in.

  • The scene a line left stays its own choice, so you can bring in one without the other.
  • If you confirm with nothing chosen, the dialog says to choose at least one change instead of doing nothing.
  • Importing a right-to-left PDF keeps dates and separate numbers in the right order.

Monologues you can open in Plot, a dramaturg page and a quicker template start

A new guide holds six audition monologues, each with what to play and how long it runs, and every speech opens in Plot as a script.

  • Four original monologues, comic and dramatic, for teens and adults, plus Helena from A Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth's dagger speech.
  • Each speech says who is speaking, what they want, what to play, where it turns and how long it runs.
  • A new glossary page explains the dramaturg, in the theater and in Plot.
  • The character traits page adds words to describe someone and flaws to give a character.
  • The templates page opens with the feature screenplay template: take the Word file to Word or Google Docs, or open it in Plot and keep writing.
  • Everything is in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean. Shakespeare stays in his English.

Period slang: eight eras, 160 words and how each era swore

The period slang guide now covers the 1700s through the 2000s, with a page for each era, its oaths, and a scene that opens in Plot.

  • Twenty words for each of eight eras: the 1700s, 1800s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 2000s, each with its meaning and a dated source line.
  • Every era has its own page, with a chart of its words in print and a short scene that uses them as dialogue and opens in Plot.
  • A swear words and oaths section shows how each era cursed and what people said instead.
  • Meanings are in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean. The words and quotations stay as they were written.

Write a poem, and look up its form

A new guide takes you through a poem in nine steps, and new glossary pages explain ten poetry terms, from the stanza and sonnet to the limerick, elegy, free verse and meter.

  • How to Write a Poem covers the subject, images, form, line breaks, sound and rhythm, figurative language, the ending, revision and where to share it, with a chart of fixed forms by line count.
  • New glossary pages explain the stanza, villanelle, sonnet, quatrain, haiku, limerick, elegy, free verse, acrostic poem and meter, with examples from well-known poems and how to write each form.
  • The rhyme scheme, enjambment and iambic pentameter pages now lead to the guide too.
  • Everything is in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean.

3 updates

Korean and Japanese scripts import with every scene

Scene headings written in Korean or Japanese now come in as scene headings, so the outline, notes and AI reports see every scene of your script.

  • Korean S# headings and Japanese hashira (○食堂(昼)) import as scene headings from Fountain, Word, PDF and plain text.
  • A heading stays exactly as you wrote it, and still gives its location, time of day and interior or exterior.
  • A Korean Word script with S# headings opens in the Korean Drama format, and a name followed by a tab and the speech comes in as the character and their dialogue.
  • A Korean drama exported to Fountain keeps its location and time of day when you import it again.
  • A heading split by an en or em dash, as Word's autocorrect writes it, keeps its time of day.

Treatment, subplot and period slang guides you can keep writing in Plot

Five new guides on Resources each come with a worked example, and their scenes and templates open in Plot.

  • Film Treatment: an original treatment, how it becomes scenes, and an editable template.
  • A, B & C Plots: three storylines through a 12-scene example, with a missing B story and the revision that earns its ending.
  • Period Slang: words from the 1700s, 1800s, 1920s and 1930s, what each meant, and a scene for each era.
  • Commonplace Book and Book Club Questions: a worked notebook and a discussion agenda you can download.
  • Every guide is in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean.

Write a stage play, from the idea to a theater's inbox

A new guide takes you through a play in eight steps, and the glossary's example scenes now open in Plot.

  • How to Write a Play covers the situation, the form, the format, the template, stage directions, dialogue, revision and where to submit, with a stage play page drawn in Plot's own layout.
  • Every glossary term with an example scene has Keep writing this scene in Plot, which opens the scene as a script.
  • Both are in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean.

16 updates

Get to know the editor with a short tour

A guided tour points out the tools around your page and helps you try an AI request, then review its changes.

  • The tour opens on its own the next time you open the editor.
  • Skip for now and return later, or choose Don’t show again.
  • Choose Editor tour from Help to resume or replay it.

Work through notes beside your script

Keep a note beside the words it refers to, reply as you revise, and ask the Dramaturg to help address it.

  • Select words and choose Note, or open Notes beside the page to work through the draft's notes.
  • Notes follow their passages as you edit. Open a note to read its replies, resolve it, or reopen it.
  • Read and answer share-link reader comments in Notes, alongside your draft's notes.
  • Address a draft note with the Dramaturg and review the proposed changes on the page.

Script checks and name cards

Plot points out lines worth a second look, such as a misspelled character name, and a card shows what it knows about any character or location.

  • Checks sit at the bottom of the Stories tab, and a dot in the margin marks each line on the page: a name one letter off from a character you already use, talk of night in a day scene, a parenthetical with no speech around it, a long action paragraph, an unusual transition and a repeated scene number.
  • Fix on a misspelled name opens the change as a review, so you see the old and new name before you accept it. Ignore hides that check for everyone on the script, and Undo brings it back.
  • Point at a character cue or a scene's location for a card with the scene where the name first appears, how many scenes use it and, for a character, how many lines they speak.
  • The checks run on your device, work offline and never change the script on their own.

Track your A, B and C stories

Tag each scene with the plot lines it carries, see them in the page's margin, read one line through the script, and see where a line goes quiet.

  • Click a scene heading, choose the Story slot beside it and type a letter to tag the scene. The picker suggests the line the scene's cast already carries.
  • Pick a line to read it on its own: other scenes dim, and a bar steps through that line's scenes.
  • The Stories tab in the left sidebar shows the weave, each line's share of the pages, its longest quiet stretch and the scenes with no tag.
  • Tags show in the outline, travel with the scene through save points and Fountain, and stay out of share links.

Grow a treatment into a script where it stands, and back again

Write a scene straight under the beat it expands, turn treatment paragraphs into screenplay elements, or turn a scene back into prose. The page keeps looking like a treatment, Word export keeps the scenes, and a shared treatment opens for its reader.

  • Insert a script section with the cursor in a treatment and the scene lands under that paragraph or beat; the treatment continues below it.
  • Select treatment paragraphs and use Turn into script in the style menu, or Change to… in the right-click menu, to make them scene headings, action or dialogue in place.
  • Turn into prose does the reverse: a scene becomes treatment text where it stands, as one undoable edit.
  • Ask Agent Mode for a scene as script pages and it writes them where they belong, in a script section of its own, the way Turn into script makes one. The prose around it stays prose, the new lines get one Accept and Reject row, and rejecting puts the treatment back as it was.
  • A treatment with scenes in it keeps the treatment's page and outline, with each scene nested under its act.
  • Export to Word writes the treatment with Word's own styles and each scene in screenplay styles, and importing that file brings the scenes back.
  • A new treatment or series bible opens on its format's outline. Choose Use this outline, or start from one of the AI starts.
  • A share link to a treatment, story notes or series bible now opens for the reader.

Watch your draft evolve with time-lapse

Play a draft line's history back one save point at a time, with each frame showing what that save point changed on the page.

  • Open it with Play history in version history, Play from here on any save point, or the command palette.
  • Each frame marks what changed on the page, strikes through a block that went, and counts the words and scenes it changed.
  • Play, pause, step one save point at a time or jump between named save points and milestones, at speeds from 0.5× to 16×. Space, J, K, L and the arrow keys work while time-lapse is open.
  • Follow is on to start, so the page moves to each change as it plays. Turn it off to keep your place on the page, and time-lapse remembers your choice.
  • From a frame, restore that save point, start a draft line there, compare it with your current draft, or copy its text.

Turn a story into screenplay pages, with AI that knows what you're writing

Ask Agent Mode to adapt a story you pasted and it writes screenplay pages to review. Every AI tool in Plot now knows whether it's working in a script, a treatment or a series bible, and in which page format.

  • Ask for an adaptation and review the proposed scene headings, action and dialogue on the page. Accept the changes you want and reject the rest.
  • Each suggested change, one line or several, has one numbered Accept and Reject row under it, so a character's name and dialogue are decided the same way as a single line.
  • For a long story, ask for a scene or two first, then continue the adaptation as you review.
  • Chat, Agent Mode, skills, ghost text and quick edits use the document's kind and page format to guide their suggestions.

Keep a say while the agent works

Answer the agent's questions without stopping its work, then see what it did with your choices.

  • Open one question at a time, choose an answer or write your own, and expand the context when you want the reasoning or connected changes.
  • Your answers stay with the run, and each shows whether the agent has read it and used it.
  • Answer after a run finishes and choose Update work to bring the changes in line.

Your writing preferences, beside the page

Document settings brings page style, writing aids and script settings into the editor, with two tabs that show who each choice affects.

  • Open Document settings from the sliders button near the bottom of the editor's left rail, or from the menu on a phone.
  • Your view holds your page style, zoom, writing aids and focus preferences. Your default language saves to your account.
  • Script holds the shared script language, scene numbering, character continueds and revision colors used by collaborators and exports.

Import a script from Word, PDF or plain text, from anywhere you start

A screenplay written in Word now arrives as screenplay pages, the editor's Import takes Word, PDF and plain text, and the New project dialog has Import file.

  • A Word file that reads as a script imports as Screenplay pages: scene headings, characters, parentheticals, dialogue, transitions and its title page. You can still keep it as a Word document in a treatment.
  • The editor's Import / Export menu takes .docx, .pdf and .txt beside Final Draft and Fountain.
  • A plain-text script keeps its title page, part labels and scene numbers.
  • Dual dialogue in a Fountain file arrives as one pair, as it does from Word, Final Draft and PDF, so a shared read and the PDF show the two speeches side by side.
  • New project has an Import file button, and the dialog shows only the formats and starters of the product you're in.

Outlines and Word files that match the page you see

A treatment's nested lists carry the same labels in the editor, the PDF, Word and a shared outline, prose takes the Markdown shortcuts Word and Google Docs do, and a script exports to Word laid out like Plot's page.

  • Numbered levels go 1., a., i. and bullets go •, ◦, ▪ in the editor, the PDF, Word export, the import preview and a shared outline, the way Word counts them.
  • Typing **bold**, *italic* or ~~strike~~ in a treatment or series bible styles the text as you type, and _text_ underlines it.
  • Export a script to Word from Import / Export or the command palette for a reader who works in Word, Google Docs or Pages. Export a save point from History to share that version with Plot's page layout.
  • Beat titles print exactly as written in Word and the PDF.
  • A script template downloaded as a Word file, or a treatment's scenes exported to Word, puts the title page contact at the foot of the page and gives each Korean line the width it has on Plot's page.

Character names in TV scripts sit centered, or at the printed indent

In teleplays and multi-camera scripts, each character name now sits centered over its dialogue, as in a feature screenplay. To match the printed page instead, choose Printed indent.

  • Document settings → Your view → Page style → Character names offers Centered, the default, and Printed indent.
  • The share reader offers the same choice in its page style controls.
  • Printed and PDF scripts always use the printed indent.

Compare two draft lines side by side, and review changes by kind

Open two draft lines next to each other with every difference marked, and settle a long review one kind of change at a time.

  • In the draft line menu, choose Compare side by side and pick another line. A screenplay keeps its own page layout on both sides.
  • Each line sits across from its counterpart, with the words that differ marked on both sides. Moved lines carry a Moved tag.
  • Previous and Next step through the differences, long unchanged stretches fold away, and on a phone the two sides stack.
  • In version history's change review, the By kind rows accept or reject every addition, edit, move or removal at once. Undo reverses it.

Choose the language you write in

Set a Writing language for your account and a Script language for any project. Spellcheck uses it, and AI writes your script in it while it still talks to you in the app's language.

  • Document settings → Your view → Your default language offers Automatic, American, British or Australian English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean.
  • Document settings → Script → Script language gives one script its own language, shared with everyone who writes in it.
  • Chat, Agent Mode, inline edits, ghost text and skills write script text in the resolved language, with its spelling and punctuation.
  • Search in the site, help and settings finds British spellings too.

Rewrite from any selection, with quick edits for dialogue and action

Select a passage in Plot to leave a note, ask the Dramaturg about it, or rewrite it. Quick edits fit the words you selected and keep each screenplay element in place.

  • Dialogue gets Tighter, More subtext and Sharper; action gets Leaner and More visual; a treatment's prose gets Shorter, Clearer and More vivid.
  • Select a cue, its speech and the action around it, and each line comes back in its own element, reviewed where it sits.
  • Agent Mode can write bulleted and numbered lists into a treatment, and the headings it adds keep their level.

Your projects, settings and help in one sidebar

Your projects and writing pages now share a sidebar with search, your latest work, settings, notifications and help.

  • Your five most recent projects sit under Plot in the sidebar, one click from any page.
  • Press ⌘\ (Ctrl+\ on Windows and Linux) or the sidebar's button to fold it to an icon rail. The choice is remembered.
  • On a phone, the menu button opens the same sidebar as a sheet, and the link beside it names where you are and takes you back there.
  • Your account, notifications and Help are at the foot of the sidebar.

9 updates

Import a screenplay PDF, or open a script from your desktop

When the only copy of a script is a PDF, bring it into Plot as an editable screenplay. Choose Import on the projects page and pick the .pdf.

  • Scene headings, action, character cues, parentheticals, dialogue, transitions and the title page are read back from where each line sits on the page.
  • The import report says where Plot had to guess: pages that are only scanned images, and dialogue with no character name above it.
  • The free screenplay converter reads PDFs too, and turns one into Fountain in your browser.
  • Installed Plot from Chrome or Edge on a computer? Right-click a .fountain, .spmd or .fdx file and choose Open with, then Plot, to start its import. Choose several files and each gets its own import.

Follow a character or place through the script, and rename it scene by scene

Characters & locations in Commands lists every scene a name appears in, and Rename in script… shows each change on the page for you to accept or reject.

  • Pick a character or location to see its appearances grouped by scene, and jump to any of them. Reopen it later to carry on where you left off.
  • Rename across the whole script or one scene. Cues, capitalized mentions and scene headings change; spoken lines and notes stay as written, and ordinary action-text matches are yours to include.
  • Choose Review changes to accept or reject each change on the page. If the new name already exists, Plot asks before combining them.

Agent Mode asks without stopping, and an answer can become changes

When a choice is yours, Agent Mode now asks, says what it will assume meanwhile, and keeps working, so you answer when it suits you. An answer that only says what to change can become changes you accept or reject.

  • Each question shows its options as tiles with the Agent's pick marked, so one tap answers. Up to you leaves the call to the agent, and Other… takes your own answer.
  • A tray above the message box counts the questions waiting for you and walks through them one at a time, as a sheet on a phone. Answers you have started stay put if you close it.
  • You can answer even after the run finishes. If your answer overturns the agent's pick, the question lists the changes built on it. An answer that arrives after the run finishes offers Redo, which starts a follow-up run to bring those changes in line.
  • Make these changes, under the newest answer in the chat or under a run that finished without editing, hands that answer to a new run, which makes the changes it recommends as markup.

Ask the AI how Inkwell works, and renumber scenes from one review

Agent Mode now answers questions about Inkwell from its help center and links the article. When your scene numbers skip after you delete a scene, Renumber scenes shows every number that changes before you apply it.

  • Ask how to do something in Inkwell and the answer comes from the help center, with a link to the article.
  • Ask how to fix your scene numbers and the answer ends with a Renumber scenes button.
  • The review lists every scene whose number changes. Apply numbering, then Undo if you change your mind.
  • Commands opens the same review. It renumbers when numbers skip, numbers the scenes that have none, and says so when everything is already in order.

Review new AI lines as one passage, in your draft's own form

When the AI writes several new lines in one place, you now review them as one passage with one Accept and one Reject, and can leave any line out first. On a treatment or other prose draft, its changes come as paragraphs and headings.

  • A run of new lines reads as one block. Hover a line, or put the caret in it on a phone, to leave it out; Undo puts it back. Accept keeps every line you didn't leave out, and Reject removes the passage.
  • Accept all and moving between changes treat a passage as one change, and the review bar tells you which lines you left out.
  • On treatments, series bibles and imported Word documents, the AI now writes and talks in paragraphs and headings, across skills, chat, the Ad-Hoc Pass and Agent Mode. Screenplays work as before.

TV, multi-camera, stage play and Korean drama pages

Teleplays, multi-camera sitcoms, stage plays and Korean dramas now look like their own formats in the editor and in the PDF, instead of a feature screenplay page.

  • A teleplay prints each act as an underlined heading that starts a new page.
  • A multi-camera sitcom double-spaces its dialogue, sets action and scene headings in capitals, and starts each scene on a new page.
  • A stage play uses the standard play page in Times, with centered character names and stage directions in parentheses.
  • A Korean drama prints on A4, numbers its scenes S#1, S#2, and sets the speaker's name beside the first line of each speech.
  • The editor's page count matches the PDF in every format.

Write, import and export treatments like Word documents

A treatment in Plot now types like a Word document, a Word file comes in with its titles, list levels and comments, and you can send a .docx back out.

  • Enter starts a new paragraph, Enter after a heading returns to body text, and Tab leaves prose as prose.
  • A Word file you import now starts as a Treatment project, titled from its Title paragraph, and exports to PDF or Word.
  • Importing a Word file keeps its Title, Subtitle and heading styles, numbered and nested lists, and comments, which arrive as notes with the commenter's name. A file that reads like an outline can come in as outline beats instead.
  • Choose Word document (.docx) in the Import / Export menu to export with Word's own Title and Heading styles, real numbered lists, page numbers, and your notes as Word comments.

Reach the AI from the right-click menu, Commands and your phone

The right-click menu now opens with Rewrite with AI and Ask AI, Commands turns a typed request into a question for the AI, and on a phone, selecting text brings up Rewrite and Ask AI right under it.

  • Right-click a selection and the first rows are Rewrite with AI and Ask AI; on a bare caret, Ask AI. Run an AI skill follows.
  • Ask AI opens the chat pointed at your selection, and keeps a question you had half typed.
  • Type a request into Commands, such as "make this simpler", and Ask AI opens the chat with your words, pointed at the selection or the passage around the caret.
  • While the chat is pointed at a selection, the message box quotes the selected words, and the page keeps them softly highlighted after you click away.
  • When a brainstorm ends with an offer to write one of its ideas, you pick the idea with a tap instead of typing a number.

Thirty-one more terms in the glossary, and a page for each formatting variation

New glossary pages for thirty-one craft, essay, film and verse terms in all six languages, and the formatting guides now show each accepted variation on a rendered page.

  • Parody, farce, paradox, pun, the epistolary novel, the bildungsroman, exigence, passive voice, anagnorisis and the controlling idea.
  • Essay writing: the thesis statement, the topic sentence, the central idea, the author's purpose, rhetorical analysis, parallel structure and the dangling modifier.
  • Film terms in a new Screen genres group: mise-en-scène, the Kuleshov effect, the anthology series, the mockumentary, the space opera and the spaghetti western, plus the Dutch angle, Foley and camera shots. Also the character actor, public domain characters and Plato's allegory of the cave.
  • Verse: rhyme scheme and enjambment.
  • Eighteen of the twenty-one screenplay formatting guides show each accepted variation as a page, and the montage and flashback guides cover more layouts and questions.

4 updates

Schedule the shoot and print a Day Out of Days

Put each scene on a shooting day, name who plays each character, and Plot builds the Day Out of Days from your script's breakdown.

  • The shooting schedule sits under the Script Breakdown in the reports panel. Type a day beside each scene and save.
  • Castings put each actor beside their character, and the Day Out of Days shows them on every row.
  • Each character's work days, start and finish, holds and totals, ready to export as a landscape PDF or a CSV for scheduling software.
  • Each draft line keeps its own schedule, and a scene keeps its day when the script is renumbered.

Ghost text shows you how to accept it

A small key cap beside the suggestion shows the key that accepts it, so you can take a suggestion without looking up the shortcut.

  • Press Right Arrow at the end of the line to take the whole suggestion.
  • The key cap sits beside the suggestion so the key is right where you're looking.

Writing prompts, character ideas and a short story guide

Three new free resources for getting a story started: 118 writing prompts with a premise generator, 80 character ideas with a character generator, and a guide to writing a short story, in all six languages.

  • Writing prompts sorted by what you want to write, from short stories and genre fiction to journal entries, poems and first lines. The generator builds a premise from a character, a goal and an obstacle.
  • Character ideas by genre, including villains and D&D characters. The generator rolls a look, a personality, a want, a flaw and a backstory; keep the parts you like.
  • The short story guide goes from idea to submission: the premise, length, the main character, a five-part structure, the opening, the ending and revision.

Eight ways to start writing again

A new guide to writer's block matches the kind of stuck you are to the exercises that fit it, in all six languages.

  • A table pairs six kinds of stuck, from not knowing what happens next to rewriting chapter one again, with the exercises to start with.
  • Eight timed exercises, each saying what to keep and what to look for, and a worked example that turns a summary into a rough scene.
  • The writing prompts page links to it from its next steps.

11 updates

A short tour of the editor

The first time you open a script, the side panel opens on Chat, and Show me around walks you through the editor in five steps.

  • The steps cover the panel's tabs, the icons above your page, the command menu, the button that hides the panel, and where to ask Chat for a change.
  • Leave the tour partway and Resume the tour brings you back to it later.

Agent Mode answers the big questions in full

Ask Agent Mode what should improve, or say you're rewriting, and it now reads the whole script and gives you its complete answer.

  • A broad request gets a whole-script answer at every effort level, Light included.
  • A long answer reaches you in full, however much the script needs.

Search, find and commands work together

The command menu suggests what writers reach for most, and the outline's Search, the find bar and the command menu each hand you to the others.

  • Opened with nothing typed, the command menu starts with Suggested: Find on page, Search the script, Create save point, Open AI Chat and Export as PDF.
  • Type words that match no command and the menu offers to find or replace them in your script.
  • In the outline's Search, Replace opens find and replace on the page with your words filled in. In the find bar, List all shows every match in Search.

The folded outline names its icons

With the outline folded to a row of icons, each icon shows its name, the open one is marked, and the outline stays folded the next time you open a script.

  • Point at an icon, or move focus to it, to see its name.
  • The open tab has a bar beside it as well as a tint, so you can tell which it is without relying on color.

Decide History's changes in one place

When you compare a save point in History, its Changes tab is now one review: decide each change, or all of them at once, then update your script.

  • Each change has its own Accept and Reject, and a change you've decided keeps an Undo.
  • Accept all and Reject all sit at the top, and the tab says when every change is reviewed.

Find your way back up a long History

In a long History, page down to older save points and back up to the newest without losing your place.

  • Load more at the foot of the list takes you further back, as far as the draft goes.
  • After you've paged far down, the newest save points leave the top of the list. Load newer appears there to bring them back.

Plan a short deadline day by day

The writing goal planner now shows a plan of four weeks or less as a row of dated days, each with that day's target.

  • Buffer days before the deadline have a dashed outline, and the deadline is marked Due.
  • Longer plans keep the week grid, which now marks buffer days too.

Twenty-four more craft terms in the glossary

New glossary pages for twenty-four craft terms writers look up often, each with an annotated scene and answers to common questions, in all six languages.

  • Diction, cliché, premise, anachronism, suspense, comedy, melodrama and plot hole.
  • Symbolism, metonymy, understatement, aphorism, stream of consciousness, magical realism, frame story and the manic pixie dream girl.
  • Vignette, biopic, verisimilitude, sitcom, the final girl, novella, leitmotif and polysyndeton.

Every literary device on one page

The glossary's new Literary devices page lists every device page by kind, each with a one-line definition, in all six languages.

  • Six groups: figures of speech; sound and repetition; irony, satire and persuasion; narration and point of view; plot devices; and character devices.
  • New pages for antithesis and the rhetorical question, each with an annotated scene, how it differs from its neighbors and a short exercise for your own lines.
  • When a glossary page names another term, hover over the link or move focus to it to read that term's definition without leaving the page.

Watch Plot at work

A new Videos page has a chaptered tour of Plot and short captioned walkthroughs of Ask and Agent Mode, each followed by the help articles for doing the same in your own script.

  • The tour follows a sample screenplay from a first scene to a draft line, a question about the script, an Agent Mode edit and a save point. Jump to a chapter to start at the part you need.
  • The Ask and Agent Mode walkthroughs play in the site's light or dark theme with English captions, and each page lists the steps it shows.

Screenwriting and production terms go deeper

Thirty-two glossary pages about the script page and the production around it now show each term in a formatted scene and answer more of the questions writers ask.

  • Among them: scene number, sides, residuals, voice-over and dual dialogue.
  • New pages for Korean television: K-drama, makjang and sageuk.
