Edit / archive / delete script book + 60-day restore
5 min read
Script-book lifecycle (edit metadata / mark complete / archive / delete) — same mechanics as Writing Studio's book lifecycle, with slightly different wording.
Card ⋯ menu actions
Hover a script card → top-right ⋯ menu typically contains:
| Option | Use |
|---|---|
| Edit | Change title / type / format / Logline metadata (same as Plan view) |
| Copy | Create a full duplicate (all Episodes / scenes / characters / storylines / version history) |
| Mark as Complete | Add ✓ but stay in "Works" tab |
| Move to Completed / Archive | Move to "Completed" tab |
| Delete / Move to Trash | Soft-delete (60-day recoverable) |
Edit metadata
"Edit" opens a dialog — editable:
- Title
- Type (4 options — changing type doesn't auto-reorganise Season / Episode)
- Format (TW / Hollywood — toggling re-renders dialogue layout instantly)
Note: changing type / format doesn't lose content. Dialogue, description, structural metadata all preserved.
Completed tab vs Mark as Complete
Related but distinct:
| Mark as Complete | Completed tab (archive) | |
|---|---|---|
| Effect | Card gets ✓ | Whole book moves to Completed tab |
| Visible in Works tab? | ✅ | ❌ (switch to Completed tab) |
| AI Coach can read? | ✅ | ✅ (still readable) |
| Counts in motivation / words? | ✅ | ❌ (archived doesn't count toward today's words) |
Move to Trash + Restore
Same mechanism as Writing Studio:
- Recoverable within 60 days from Trash tab (Writing Studio article - 60-day restore)
- Auto-permanently-deleted after 60 days
- Slima auto-versions before soft-delete
Permanent delete (manual)
From Trash tab → ⋯ menu → Permanent Delete. Double-confirmation.
Not recoverable — export a .slima backup before confirming (Import + bulk export).
Vs Writing Studio book lifecycle
See: Writing Studio book lifecycle — same mechanics; only "Completed" vs "Archive" wording differs.
