Use the shortcut (⌘) + F on mac or Ctrl + F on PC to find all mentions of this character in your script.

Step 2 ⏤ Remove character name

Step 3 ⏤ Manually save screenplay

To manually save your script, click the save icon (💾) located in the top left corner of your screen. 

Step 4 ⏤ Refresh the page
