Scripts
Run a continuity check
A continuity check scans your script for logical inconsistencies between scenes — interior/exterior mismatches, inconsistent set names, time-of-day jumps, day/night contradictions within a scene, and scene-heading notation errors. This article covers running the check and working through the results from the script viewer. For how the check works and what it analyzes, see Continuity checking.
Before you start
- A project, episode, and revision with parsed scenes are selected in the top bar.
- A continuity check uses AI and consumes credits.
Open the continuity panel
Select the continuity warnings card at the bottom right of the script viewer. It shows the current warning count. The card opens the continuity popover, titled Continuity Checking.

Run the check
- Open the continuity popover.
- Optionally, to check only part of the script, select Scene range and pick a From and To scene.
- Select Run Continuity Check.
- A progress bar tracks the check through your scenes. When it finishes, results fill the Warnings and Analysis tabs.
Review the Warnings tab
The Warnings tab lists each detected issue. A warning card shows:
- A clickable Scene N link that jumps to the scene in the viewer.
- A category badge (see the categories below).
- A description of the issue.
- A suggested fix, marked with a lightbulb, when one is available. When the suggestion is a concrete value, an Apply button writes it to the scene heading.
If nothing is found, the tab reads “No continuity warnings found.”
Warning categories
| Badge | What it catches |
|---|---|
| INT/EXT mismatch | The interior/exterior marker disagrees across related scenes. |
| Set name | The same place is written with inconsistent set names. |
| Time of day | The time of day doesn’t progress sensibly between scenes. |
| Day/night | A scene’s heading time of day contradicts its own action — e.g. a scene marked DAY whose text describes moonlight or darkness. |
| Notation | The scene heading uses incorrect notation. |
Resolve or dismiss a warning
- Select Apply (when shown) to accept the suggested value.
- Select Ignore to dismiss a single warning as a false positive.
- Select the Completed checkbox to mark a warning as addressed. It stays visible but dimmed so you can review what you handled.
- Select Ignore all warnings at the bottom of the tab to dismiss every current warning at once.
Review the Analysis tab
The Analysis tab gives a timeline overview of the script:
- Total Script Days — how many story days the script spans, in a badge.
- A per-scene list. Each row shows the scene number, its Day N assignment, its resolved time of day, an optional structural-block badge, and a confidence dot — green for high, amber for medium, red for low. Select a row to jump to that scene.
If you have not run a check yet, the tab reads “Run a continuity check to see the timeline analysis.”
