The project takes its name from the title page. Fountain files and screenplay PDFs come in the same way. A PDF holds printed pages rather than a script's structure, so the import report says where Plot had to guess. ## Check it before it lands The preview shows the title page and the opening of the script before anything is created. If a line could not be read as a screenplay element, it arrives as action and the import report lists it, so you fix the few that need it. When the office asks for a file, Plot exports Final Draft, PDF, Fountain and Word. ## Watch another walkthrough [2:33](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/plot-tour) ### [Meet Plot: Screenplay Editor Tour](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/plot-tour) [Write a scene, explore a rewrite on a draft line, ask about your screenplay, review an Agent Mode edit, and keep a save point.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/plot-tour) [Watch the tour](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/plot-tour) [0:35](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-edit) ### [Review an Agent Mode Edit in Plot](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-edit) [Give Agent Mode a scene note, inspect its proposed dialogue change, and accept the edit in your screenplay.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-edit) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-edit) [0:24](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/ask-about-your-scene) ### [Ask Plot About Your Screenplay](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/ask-about-your-scene) [Ask where your screenplay reveals a character’s fear and follow the answer alongside the scene.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/ask-about-your-scene) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/ask-about-your-scene) [0:31](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/first-scene) ### [Write Your First Scene in Plot](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/first-scene) [Start a new script and write a scene from a blank page: type a heading, press Enter and Tab, and Plot formats every line as a screenplay.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/first-scene) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/first-scene) [0:29](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/draft-line) ### [Try a Rewrite on a Draft Line in Plot](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/draft-line) [Start a draft line, rewrite a line freely while Main stays as it was, then preview the difference and incorporate the rewrite.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/draft-line) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/draft-line) [0:20](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/save-points) ### [Keep a Named Save Point in Plot](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/save-points) [Write until the draft is worth keeping, save it with a name, and find it at the top of version history whenever you need it.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/save-points) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/save-points) [0:34](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-questions) ### [When Agent Mode Asks, It Keeps Working](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-questions) [Hand Agent Mode a bigger job, see it ask about the calls that are yours, and answer in one click while it keeps working on the scene.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-questions) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/agent-questions) [0:25](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/notes) ### [Leave a Note and Let the Dramaturg Address It in Plot](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/notes) [Leave a note on the words it is about, hand your open notes to the Dramaturg, and keep or undo the change it makes from the note.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/notes) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/notes) [0:18](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/choose-changes) ### [Choose Which Changes to Incorporate in Plot](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/choose-changes) [Bring a draft line back to Main change by change: leave out what didn't work, and incorporate only the changes you chose.](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/choose-changes) [Watch the walkthrough](https://www.inkwell.software/videos/choose-changes) --- Canonical page:
