Customize scene numbering

Scene numbers follow the order of scenes in your script. You do not need to type a number into At the door or update it manually after moving a scene.

Choose a numbering style

1. In the app header, use Open script settings.
2. Under Block settings, select Scene.
3. Change Scene numbering to the style you want.
4. Close settings to return to the script.

This setting applies to the current script. The choices are:

Choice	Result before the heading
1.	A number followed by a dot, such as 2. Outside
1)	A number followed by a closing parenthesis, such as 2) Outside
No numbering	The heading text alone, such as Outside

What happens when scenes move?

After a scene move, numbers update to match the new order. Numbering runs through the whole script; adding an act does not restart it.

The number is separate from the heading’s editable text. Type the title itself, such as Outside, rather than including a number that will become outdated.

Hide numbers without removing structure

Choose No numbering to hide the number before headings in the script. The blocks remain Scene headings. The Structure sidebar still uses numbered entries to help you navigate.

Changing this setting does not rename scenes, move their content or change their place assignments.
