Rooms live on parallel ideas — an alt joke in scene 4, a structural pass on the cold open, a table-read version frozen while notes land. Plot combines real-time co-writing with draft lines and named save points so the room explores without Slack archaeology or duplicate files in a shared drive.
The alt cold open lands harder if Reyes says nothing at all and just walks.
Agreed — hold the reveal until the second-act break.
Keep the walk-away silent — the room liked it on the read.

History in one document
Devon is in Scene 12 — polishing the interrogation dialogue.
Jules jumps to the cold open to try an alt beat.
Presence is tied to the scene, not a side chat — I can see where the room's attention is.
Real-time co-writing on the same document. See who is in the script, which scene they are in, and what changed since you last looked — without passing a file or wondering who overwrote the punchline. Presence stays tied to the screenplay structure, so the room knows where attention is focused during a rewrite sprint.
The room constantly explores alternatives. Draft lines keep parallel versions inside the script — try an alternate structural pass, compare it side by side, then incorporate the winning lines into Main. An experiment never overwrites the room's working draft.
Save points preserve table-read and notes milestones everyone recognizes. When notes arrive across time zones, compare the working draft with the read save point — not a PDF someone exported at midnight with a vague filename.
Plot — rooms explore in parallel — draft lines hold the alt joke, save points freeze the table read, and nobody loses the punchline to a midnight export.
The three primitives that do the heavy lifting in this workflow.
Comment threads anchor to blocks and scenes. Save points mark when the room agreed the draft was ready for notes — so the diff after notes is meaningful, not “please re-read the whole script.”
Team plan adds role-based access — who edits, who comments, who administers the workspace. Built for a room that outgrows email attachments.
When the room locks for production, revision colours and A-pages live on the same structured draft — no export ritual that loses history.
Skills and diffs run on your draft — nothing lands until you accept it. Every accepted change can become a save point.
The weekly rhythm most rooms actually run — named read drafts, parallel alts, and a clear record of what changed.
Multiple writers in the same scenes. Save point when the room agrees the draft is read-ready.
Table read happens on a named snapshot — not “whatever was latest in the doc at 6pm.”
Draft line for the alt joke in scene 4. Main line absorbs network notes. Both stay comparable.
Compare the table-read save point with the post-notes draft for the EP. Incorporate the alt lines that landed; history preserves what you tried.
Migration, granularity, pricing, and feature status — the concrete questions buyers raise before they switch.
Pro supports up to five collaborators across your projects on the same screenplay. Team adds real-time collaboration, shared workspaces, shared draft lines, and role-based permissions for a writers' room.
Yes. Draft lines are parallel versions inside the same screenplay. Compare any draft line with Main at the scene and dialogue level before you incorporate — the room sees exactly what the alternate changes before committing.
No. Save points replace duplicate filenames. Name one “Table read draft”, keep writing on Main, apply notes, then compare the two versions — one screenplay, with every decision still available.
Team workspaces organize scripts by series or project. Role-based permissions control who edits and who comments. Guest and limited-access roles are planned for Team; contact team@inkwell.software if your room needs them now.
