Creating And Opening Scripts
A script is the project containing your writing documents. Each document can hold a screenplay, draft, title page, treatment or outline.
Create A Script
- Select My Scripts, or open a production and select Scripts.
- Select New Script.
- Enter a script name and select Create New Script.
- The writer opens the new script so you can begin writing or import a document.
A script name is required. Creation must be available to your account; shared scripts can be readable even when creating your own scripts is unavailable.
Open Existing Work
Use Open beside a script. Scripts shared with me lists invited collaborations in the personal script list. Within the writer, Document Options → Open provides a searchable picker of other accessible scripts. Use Documents to switch within the current script.
Archive And Recover
Use Archive beside a script you can manage and confirm the prompt. Open the script list's Archive view to find archived scripts. Restore returns one to the current list; Delete Permanently removes it after confirmation.
Archiving a whole script is different from clearing or deleting a document in the writer.
Troubleshooting
If a shared script does not appear, confirm the invite was sent to your account's email address. A production script can also depend on your access to that production. Ask the owner to check sharing rather than creating a second copy of the project.
