What's New in Promptbook Scripts open without wifi - Every script's PDF is now kept on your device, so scripts open straight away with no internet or a weak signal, even after iCloud has removed its copy to save space. - If a script has never been downloaded to this device and there's no connection, Promptbook tells you at once. It opens by itself when you're back online. - On a slow connection, Promptbook says so instead of leaving you waiting with no explanation. Risk assessments - New "Add from a Spreadsheet": paste cells from Excel or Numbers, or choose an .xlsx or CSV file. Promptbook finds the columns by name, so another company's template works, and spreadsheets saved from Promptbook read straight back in. You can check the rows before they're added. Fixes - Rotated pages in a PDF now display upright instead of stretched. - PDF export no longer crashes. - Undo with the two- and three-finger taps now matches Cmd+Z, and cues you've just placed can always be undone. - Act and scene numbers found in your script are written in capitals ("Act II", not "Act Ii"). Labels you typed yourself aren't changed. - A new text note opens ready to type, with the cursor in it. - The colour tab in the sidebar now runs the full height of script names that wrap onto two lines.
