Import and export
Importing
| Fountain | .fountain, including Beat's scene IDs and settings, which are kept and written back on export. |
|---|---|
| Final Draft | .fdx |
| Word | .docx |
| Text | .md, .txt |
Choose New document → Import on the Writing tab. A whole folder can come in at once: sub-folders become tracks, and files with a version or a date in their name (-v2, -20261011) become drafts of one document. Hidden folders and files that aren't documents stay on your computer.
Other files (PDFs, audio, images, anything) go on the project's Files page, folders included.
Exporting
Every export is made from a saved snapshot, so the same file can be made again later.
