Saving Your Work in Scripto

If you’re coming from a desktop-based script editor, this may be your first question.
​

Answer, You don’t need one!

Scripto automatically saves your work to the cloud as you write. Your changes are saved after every few keystrokes, so there’s no need to manually save a script file or worry about losing your latest changes.
​
In fact, you can see syncing in action by looking at the green cloud in the upper-right corner of the editor.
​

Your scripts live securely in your Scripto workspace, which means you and your collaborators are always working from the same current version.
​

You can export your script whenever you want. Exporting gives you a copy you can keep locally, send to someone, or use outside of Scripto.

You can export your script as:

Scripto currently requires an internet connection to work. Offline editing is on our roadmap, but until it’s ready, there are a few tried-and-true workarounds.
​

If you know you’ll be somewhere without reliable internet and need to keep working, you can export a copy before you go. You can work on that file in another local application and import your updated script back into Scripto when you’re online again.

For our live and live-to-tape productions — the fast-paced shows Scripto was invented for — teams have also used a temporary word-processing or document-editing application when they need to work outside of Scripto. Google Docs is one option, including its offline mode. They copy the material into the application, keep working, and then bring the updated material back into Scripto once they are back online.

The important thing to remember: you don’t need to manually save your Scripto work. Scripto is saving it for you. ☁️ 😌
