Make a written screenplay follow the board order

Steps

1. Click the ... button and choose Apply Board Order to Screenplay….

   The dialog is titled Apply this order to the written screenplay? It warns that reordering the cards changes the screenplay scene order, and that some of these scenes may already be written.

2. Read what the dialog says about your screenplay.

   When the order already matches it says the draft already follows the Beat Board order. When it does not, it lists each scene that would move, for example Screenplay Scene 4 would become Scene 2, and adds that production planning is not reordered automatically. Apply is only available when there is something to change. Cancel closes without a change.

   It says the draft is locked as the shooting draft and tells you to start a revision in the Screenplay workspace to change scene order. Apply stays unavailable.
