Preview and Export

When you’re ready to see how the script will look on the page, hit Preview in the toolbar or ⇧⌘P. The middle pane switches to a read-only view showing each page formatted as it will appear in the exported PDF — cover page, running headers, page numbers, panel and dialog formatting.

Tweak how the preview renders via the format options popover (font family, font size, dialog positioning, panel description layout). The same options drive the actual export.

Exporting

The export menu has three formats:

Format	Where it works	What’s in it
PDF	macOS + iPad	Full script with cover page, running headers, page numbers. Default format.
DOCX	macOS only	Microsoft Word .docx package. Editable.
TXT	macOS + iPad	Plain text. No formatting; just the script content.

Hit ⇧⌘E or the export button (⬆ icon in the toolbar) to bring up the Export Sheet. Choose your format, configure the options (whether to include Notes, panel description layout, font), and click Export.

On macOS, a save panel opens — pick where to save. On iPad, the file is written to a temp directory and you get a Share Sheet to send it via Mail, Files, AirDrop, etc.

Documents opened from outside the Library export exactly like Library issues, cover page included.

Whose name is on the cover?

The cover page uses the author and contact stored in the document when it has them, falling back to your own Settings when it doesn’t. Exporting a collaborator’s script credits them, not you. A graphic novel prints its title once — it has no separate series line to repeat it on.

Drafts

Every export creates a new Draft N entry on the issue. The draft number auto-increments, the date is recorded, and (optionally) a snapshot of the script at that moment is preserved. You can see your draft history in the inspector’s Notes tab.

Printing

⌘P opens the standard system print dialog with the formatted script. Useful for marking up paper drafts.
