Import into Scribe

Scribe converts the source into its native novel or Fountain-first screenplay structure. Your original file is never changed.

Sync & Backup

Trust the work

Manuscript text is stored locally. Sign in to verify the cloud document copy.

Sync Inspector

Where is the manuscript?

This compares this device, the main Scribe cloud row, and the section-by-section manuscript mirror without exposing the actual writing.

Checking local and cloud copies…

“Recover from cloud mirror” pulls non-empty section text onto this device. “Upload this device’s manuscript” never treats a blank section as a deletion unless that section was explicitly cleared in Scribe.

Writing display

Text size

Saved with this project, so the same writing size follows it to your other devices.

Preview

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Project

Title page

Scribe formats this differently for manuscripts and scripts when you preview, print, or export.

Screenplay output uses 12-point Courier, centers title/credit/writer in the upper-middle of the page, and places contact information at the bottom left. Draft date, when supplied, sits at the bottom right.

Export

PDF

Create a true PDF file directly from Scribe. The saved project stays unchanged.

Title page for this export

Anonymous and no-title-page exports intentionally clear the PDF's internal Author field too, so identification is not left behind in document metadata.

Back to The Study ⌂

Archiving removes a project from the normal library without deleting any writing. Permanent deletion is available only after 30 days in the archive. The manuscript is saved locally before any export begins.
