# Writers' room workflow in Plot

> Break story, assign scenes, and track parallel takes — save points and draft lines replace the folder of \_FINAL\_v4 files.

About 5 minutes in Plot

## Follow along in Plot

Each step matches visible UI in the editor.

1. [Set up the series project](https://www.inkwell.software/resources/guides/writers-room-workflow#step-1)

   Create a Plot project for your pilot or episode. Keep episodes as separate projects and use draft lines for alternate versions of the same screenplay.

   _One home for the room's drafts_

2. [Break story in structured scenes](https://www.inkwell.software/resources/guides/writers-room-workflow#step-2)

   Scene headings and Fountain elements keep the board and script aligned — every scene is an addressable node for assignments.

   _Structured scenes, not loose pages_

3. [Assign and co-write live](https://www.inkwell.software/resources/guides/writers-room-workflow#step-3)

   Invite writers, see presence per scene, and co-edit without losing who changed which line.

   _Presence + comments on the draft_

4. [Snapshot after every read](https://www.inkwell.software/resources/guides/writers-room-workflow#step-4)

   Name save points after table reads and network notes — Table read ep102, Post-network pass — so diffs stay legible.

   _Reads are version-control events_

5. [Incorporate winning alts](https://www.inkwell.software/resources/guides/writers-room-workflow#step-5)

   When a draft line has the better ending, select Main as the target, review the whole-document preview, and click Incorporate to confirm.

   _Room-approved changes land cleanly_
