Lock Pages - Pro Feature
Lock your pages so that new edits will only affect that page and not the remainder of the script.
For example: During production, dialogue needs to be added on page 2. Since you locked the page before making the edit, the changes will only affect page 2. If the text is longer than what was originally there, the text that overflows to the following page will be on a newly created page 2A. Now, only page 2 and 2A will need to be printed, rather than the entire script.
*Note: This feature is available with a Pro subscription. Update your subscription today!
