Script updates are bound to happen. With StudioBinder, you can import a new script version to your stripboard whenever there's a change. If you get an updated screenplay while scheduling, just follow these steps to import it through your Stripboard.

Note: If your updated screenplay has different scene numbers &/or sluglines, it will replace all the old scenes with the new ones & change across all aspects of your project. Your work is not lost or deleted; in fact, you can roll back to a previous version of your stripboard.
