ScreenplayComment on a few words of the script
Select text, add a comment, and see it listed in the Comments panel.
Before you start
- A screenplay is open.
Steps
Select some words in the script.
A small Comment button appears beside the selection.
Click Comment. Type your comment in the box and click Comment.
The Comments panel opens with a box headed with the scene and the kind, for example Scene 1 · text comment, quoting your selection, for example “stray dog”. Cancel closes the box without saving.
Look at the list under the box.
Each comment shows the writer's initials and name, the scene, the comment, and how long ago it was written. Open (2) and Resolved (1) switch between lists. Comment on Scene 1 and Comment on draft add other kinds of comment. The toolbar button shows how many comments are open, for example Comments (2).
What you get
The comment is saved on the scene and counted on the Comments button.
Watch out for
- Comments are review notes. For something only you should see, use a private note. See Write scene notes and private notes.
