Comment on scenes

Scene comments let your team discuss specific parts of the script without leaving the app. Comments are tied to scenes, support one level of threaded replies, and can be liked. This article covers reading, posting, replying to, editing, and deleting comments.

Before you start

A project, episode, and revision are selected in the top bar.
You have the Admin or Member role to post, reply, edit, like, or delete comments. Viewers can read comments but cannot post; the input bar is hidden for them.

Open the comments panel

Turn on Comments in the View (Preview options) menu in the control panel. The comments panel opens on the right, titled Comments, and lists the script’s comment threads. Selecting a scene heading in the script body focuses comments on that scene.

Read comments

Each comment shows a colored avatar with the author’s initial, the author’s name, how long ago it was posted, and the text. A heart shows the like count. If there are no comments yet, the panel reads “No comments yet.”

Add a comment

Type your comment in the input field at the bottom of the panel (placeholder Add comment).
Select the send icon or press Enter.

The comment appears in the list.

Reply to a comment

Select Reply under the comment you want to respond to.
Type your reply in the composer that opens.
Select Reply to post it, or Cancel to discard.

Replies are nested one level under the parent comment.

Like a comment

Select the heart on a comment to like it; select it again to remove your like. The count beside the heart updates.

Edit a comment

You can edit your own comments; Admins can edit any comment.

Select Edit under the comment.
Change the text in the field that appears.
Select Save to apply, or Cancel to discard.

Delete a comment

You can delete your own comments; Admins can delete any comment.
