About 5 minutes in Plot
Each step matches visible UI in the editor.
Create a Plot project for the season or pilot. Use draft lines for episode branches if multiple episodes are in flight.
One home for the room's drafts
Set up the series project
Scene headings and Fountain elements keep the board and script aligned — every scene is an addressable node for assignments.
Structured scenes, not loose pages
Break story in structured scenes
Invite writers, see presence per scene, and co-edit without losing who changed which line.
Presence + comments on the draft
Assign and co-write live
Name save points after table reads and network notes — Table read ep102, Post-network pass — so diffs stay legible.
Reads are version-control events
Snapshot after every read

Room-approved changes land cleanly
Incorporate winning alts
