Number scenes

Add, renumber, or remove scene numbers.

Scene numbers print in both margins beside each scene heading, and appear next to each scene in the Navigator.

Choose Format > Scene Numbers, then choose one of the following:

  • Number New Scenes: Numbers only the scenes that don’t have a number yet, and keeps every existing number. A scene added after 12 becomes 12A. If no scene has a number, every scene is numbered from 1.
  • Number All Scenes: Numbers every scene again, starting from 1. Numbers already in use can change, so eDraft asks you to confirm.
  • Remove Scene Numbers: Removes every scene number. eDraft asks you to confirm. This command is dimmed when the script has no scene numbers.

Tip: Once a script has gone to a production, use Number New Scenes. It never changes a number that a schedule or call sheet may already cite.
