Introducing Tools

Tools puts every action you can take on the page in one place, a keystroke away. You never have to leave the line you are writing.

What it does

• Writing: change the current line’s element or paragraph style.
• Structure: add a scene, act or chapter, or jump to one.
• Characters & Places: create, mention or open a character or place.
• References: link selected text to a scene, chapter or Scene Card.
• Review: search the whole manuscript or check continuity.
• Co-writer: prepare a focused request, such as Sharpen dialogue, without typing it out.

Open it

Press ⌘ K on a Mac or Ctrl K on Windows, or choose Tools at the foot of Story or Script. See Opening Tools.

Story and Script have their own Tools

Story offers prose tools; Script offers screenplay tools. See Using Tools in Story and Using Tools in Script.

Tools and Co-writer are different

Tools act on the page straight away. Co-writer is a writing assistant you ask for ideas and changes, which arrive as proposals. Some tools prepare a Co-writer request for you. See Tools and Co-writer.
