Scene numbers are essential when you sync your script throughout your project. To avoid affecting any of the existing work that you've done, StudioBinder allows you to lock your scene numbers. This way, all existing work will remain intact as you edit your script and sync updates. Follow along to understand the difference between locked & unlocked scripts!

Locking a script will preserve the current scene numbers in your script. If you add a new scene to a locked script, a letter will automatically be appended to the preceding scene number. This is to preserve any work done on the Shooting Schedule, Shot Lists, and so on.

Unlocked scripts will not preserve current scene numbers. Adding a new scene to an unlocked script will replace the current scene numbers. For example, if you added a new scene after scene 1, it would now be scene 2.
