Write view: script editor layout

Last updated May 22, 2026 · 4 min read

The Write view (third icon on the left activity bar) is Script Studio's actual writing surface. The structure mirrors Writing Studio's editor, but adds script-format-specific features: automatic format detection, element switching, character-name autocomplete.

Slima Script Studio Write view overall layout: top Hollywood/Taiwan + Dual/Sprint + scene indicator + toolbar; four right-side panel icons; bottom word count / scene count / duration / saved
