The notes dashboard

One view of every note on the script — yours, your collaborators', and your readers' — filtered by who, by scene, and by what is still open.

1 min readUpdated

Notes arrive from three directions: sticky notes you leave yourself, comments from collaborators on the project, and comments from readers of a share link. The notes dashboard is the view that puts them together, so a pass through the notes is one pass, not three.

Where it isLink to this section

Open the Notes tab in the right sidebar and choose All notes. The tab opens on This draft; the dashboard is the whole project.

What it showsLink to this section

  • Every note, with who left it and which scene it is on.
  • Filters for open and resolved, for one person, and for your notes or your readers'.
  • A count per scene, so the scene with nine notes is visible before you get to it.

Select any note to jump to its line; resolve it from the dashboard or from the page.

Working through notesLink to this section

The usual pass is: filter to open, sort by scene, and go in order. When a batch of notes belongs in the script rather than beside it — a producer's page of typed notes, say — paste them into the Notes tab and run Organize Notes; it proposes where each one goes, and you confirm the placements.

What next

  • Pin a sticky note to a scene

    Leave yourself a note on any scene, color it, find it again from the Notes tab, and resolve it when the thought is used up.
