Name a snapshot of your screenplay in Plot — table read, workshop notes, or before the rewrite — then compare or restore from version history.
About 2 minutes in Plot
Save points are immutable snapshots you label — table reads, workshop notes, before the rewrite.
Each step matches visible UI in the editor.
Sign in and open the draft you are working on. Save points attach to a project on a draft line — start from the editor canvas where your scenes live.
The canvas you save from — not a folder on disk
Open your screenplay in Plot
Press ⌘S (Ctrl+S on Windows) to persist your current draft to the project. Use this while writing; named save points build on the same history.
Progress saved without leaving the draft
Save progress with ⌘S
Press ⌘⇧S or open the command palette and choose Save point with label. Named save points are how you mark meaningful moments — not generic autosave timestamps.
Keyboard-first — same shortcut registry as the app
Create a named save point
Enter a human-readable name: Table read — Act 2 notes, Before studio feedback, or Workshop Mar 12. The label is what future you searches for in version history.
Name the why — not FINAL_v3
Label the moment
Open the version history sidebar on your draft line. Named save points appear as a timeline — newest first — with the labels you chose.
Immutable snapshots on your draft line
Find save points in version history
Select a save point to compare against what you have now. Inkwell shows semantic changes by scene and line — not a whole-file snapshot diff.
Scene-aware changes you can read in the room
Compare against your current draft
Restore the save point if you want to branch from that moment, or keep writing on your current draft. Either way, the named snapshot stays in history.
History stays — no duplicate _FINAL files
Restore or keep writing
