Seeing who is working

See who else is in the manuscript, by name or initials, and where their cursor or selection is.

When others are working in the same Story or Script, Scriptr shows you.

Named cursors, a selection and a note beside the line.

Who is here

People in the manuscript appear at the top of the page with their picture or initials. Hover to see their name.

Where they are

Each person’s cursor and selection appear in the text in their colour, with their name. Presence shows who is in this manuscript and draft; someone in another draft or another part of the project isn’t shown here.

When they leave

A person disappears from the list when they close the manuscript, and after a short while if their connection drops.

Who you can see

Only people with access to the project appear, and only to people with access. Presence never shares anything outside the project.

Editing at the same time

If someone else saves a newer version while you are writing, Scriptr keeps your copy and tells you, rather than overwriting either. See Restoring a version.
