.slima import + bulk export multiple scripts

Lectura de 5 min

Import a script book from .slima backup, or bulk-export multiple script books at once.

Slima Script Studio "My Scripts" page as a visual reference; Batch Export is a top button; .slima import is inside the New Script dialog

Importing .slima backups

Flow is the same as Writing Studio's .slima import. Script Studio entry:

  • "+ New Script" → pick "Restore Backup" → upload .slima file
  • Result: new Series (script book) with full version history preserved

Vs "Import script file"

Import script file Import .slima backup
Source format .docx / .pdf / .txt / .fountain .slima internal format
Result New Series + heuristic-parsed metadata New Series + full metadata + version history
Best for Migrating from another tool Restoring from a Slima backup

See: Import script to new book

Bulk export

"My Scripts" top "Batch Export" button:

  1. Dialog opens; tick scripts to export (multi-select)
  2. Choose format: individual .slima per book / merged single .zip / per-book exports (docx / PDF / Fountain)
  3. Start export

Each book's export includes:

  • All Episodes / scenes / dialogue / description
  • Metadata (Logline / Concept / Synopsis)
  • Character Bible / storylines / locations / worldview / notes
  • Version history (if format is .slima)

Vs single-book export

Single-book Bulk export
Entry Card ⋯ menu "Export" or Deliver view "My Scripts" top
Format choice Any format for that single book Same format across many, or multi-format
Best for Sending one to someone Whole-account archive / tool migration / account move

Use cases

1. Whole-account archive

Wrote 3 scripts, want everything archived to local disk → bulk-export .slima → save locally.
Bulk-import back later as needed.

2. Cross-account migration

Move from Account A to Account B:

  1. Bulk-export .slima from A
  2. Restore each backup in B (one at a time)
  3. Or ask support for batch import help

3. To production team

Pick 3 scripts, export each as PDF + Fountain → for production reading + cross-tool compatibility.

Auto-versioning

Bulk export doesn't auto-version (it doesn't modify the original). But .slima import auto-versions the new book as its initial state (Auto-version rules).
