# Mark a milestone

> Pin a name to the version you sent out — table read, first studio draft, locked white — so it stays findable in History and exportable as itself.

A milestone is a save point with a name that matters outside the room: the draft that went to the table read, the one the producer has, the locked shooting script. Milestones sit in their own list in History so they do not get lost among the everyday save points.

1. **Get to the version**

   Either make a save point now (`⌘⇧S` / `Ctrl+Shift+S`) or select an existing one in History — a milestone can be added to any save point, not only the latest.

2. **Choose Tag as milestone**

   Select the tag on the save point — **Tag as milestone**. Give it the name people will use: "Table read, March", "Studio draft 1".

   _The Tag milestone dialog: the name (1), the revision color it belongs to if the script is in production (2), and Tag milestone (3) to pin it._

3. **Add a note if it helps**

   The dialog has room for a line of context — who received it, what changed since the last one. It shows in History beside the name.

4. **Find it again**

   The **Milestones** list at the top of History shows every milestone in order. Select one to read it, compare against it, or export it as a PDF or FDX of exactly that version.

> **Note: Moving a milestone**
>
> A milestone marks one version. If you sent a corrected draft, add a new milestone rather than moving the old one — the record of what was sent, when, is the point.

- [Save points](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/save-points): What a save point is, how it differs from autosave, and what the History tab lets you do with one: read it, compare it, restore it.
- [Export PDF, FDX, and Fountain](https://www.inkwell.software/help/writing/export-pdf-fdx-fountain): Produce an industry-formatted PDF, a Final Draft file for the office, or a plain Fountain file, from the draft line and save point you choose.
- [Turn on revision mode and colors](https://www.inkwell.software/help/writing/revision-mode-and-colors): Lock the production draft, work through the colored revisions in the office's order, mark the changed lines with asterisks, and hand over a script that matches its conventions.
