The calls that are yours stay yours
Asked to tighten the gangway scene, the agent reaches a choice it shouldn’t make alone: when does the audience first hear about the accident? It asks, offers the options, and marks the one it would choose, here “Later, in the wheelhouse.”
Then it carries on with that pick instead of stopping the run. The question waits in the conversation, and you can answer it while the agent is still working.
Answer in one click, whenever you get to it
Open the question and tap the answer you want. Agreeing with the agent’s pick keeps the work it has done. Choosing differently lists the changes built on the pick, so you can have them redone to match.
You still review every change in the screenplay, with Accept and Reject on each one, the same as any Agent Mode edit.
