Storyboard Split View
NewSee your storyboard and your lined script at the same time — the most requested feature from beta users.
- Split view pairs your storyboard cards with a read-only lined script in a two-column layout
- Click a card to jump the script to that shot, or click a line to select its card — sync works in both directions
- Follow mode keeps the storyboard tracking whichever shot you're reading as you scroll the script
- The scene dropdown becomes a jump control instead of a filter while split view is open

Dual Dialogue
New ImprovedSide-by-side dialogue for those overlapping moments a single column can't hold.
- Pair a speech with the one before it using the Dual button or Ctrl/Cmd+D; Fountain's
^marker works too - Final Draft (.fdx) import now reads Final Draft's own dual dialogue structure
- Pairs are edited stacked and render side by side on the page, and a pair never splits across a page break
- Existing drafts keep their current layout — a per-draft upgrade with a before/after preview is offered when dual dialogue is detected

Lined Script & Editor Refinements
Improved FixSmaller changes across drawing, writing, and help.
- Auto-scroll while drawing: hold near the top or bottom edge of the canvas and it scrolls with your gesture — drawing, moving, resizing, squiggles, and erasing
- Smarter character cues: all-caps action lines like LATER, MONTAGE, INSERT, and ANGLE ON stay as action, names already used as characters always convert, and undoing a conversion teaches Lína to leave that phrase alone for the rest of the draft
- Fixed a bug where a drawing gesture could lose tracking mid-stroke when line labels and handles redrew
- In-app help rebuilt from a single source, so the Help page and the section panels always agree — with corrected shortcuts and storage figures

Carry Your Work Forward to a New Draft
New ImprovedImporting a revision no longer means starting your coverage over.
- When you import a new draft, Lína can carry your existing lines, shots, and breakdowns onto the matching scenes in the new version
- Scenes are matched on content — action and dialogue, characters, heading, and length — not heading text alone, so renamed and reordered scenes still find their match
- The parse report and the carry-forward decision are now one combined “Importing a New Draft” step
- Shots renumber to the new scene order; scenes that no longer exist are skipped rather than silently reassigned
- Project list now sorts alphabetically, and project deletion lives in the Project Manager only
