Write view: script editor layout
4 min read
The Write view (third icon on the left activity bar) is Script Studio's actual writing surface. The structure mirrors Writing Studio's editor, but adds script-format-specific features: automatic format detection, element switching, character-name autocomplete.
Write view regions

|---|---|---|
| Left activity bar | Far left | Page Switcher (shared) |
| Top breadcrumb + Episode / Season toggle | Top | Which episode you're in |
| Centre script editor | Centre (largest) | Dialogue, action |
| Side panels (left / right) | Sides (hideable) | Scene list, Character Bible, AI Coach, storylines |
| Format indicator | Top of editor / toolbar | Shows current TW / Hollywood format |
