From idea to script

Bring a .docx treatment, outline, or idea document into a new Plot project, review the formatting changes, and begin with editable prose.

Change a Treatment project's destination to a script format, keep its draft lines and history, and decide separately when to convert the text.

Understand the stage beside your writing, choose a mode that suits the draft, and keep prose and scenes together as your story develops.

Use prose for the story you are still exploring, outlines for beats, and script sections for scenes that are ready to write in screenplay form.

See which Word features become editable Plot writing, which changes the import report explains, and what to check before sharing a PDF or screenplay file.

Find the next step when a Word file will not import, the preview changes its formatting, a mode is unavailable, or a return to Treatment is blocked.
