The change
Change it once. See the impact.
See what one change touches, then approve it. Abby proposes. You approve by hand, and the crew note is prepared, not sent.

Questions.
Short answers about the workflow, who it is for, approvals, and early access. The docs go deeper.
Where does a production start?
With the script. Import it in Studio or write it in Writer, break it into scenes, and every later document keeps the scene numbers: the stripboard, the day out of days, the call sheet, the reports.
Who is it for?
Producers, production managers, first ADs, and directors running a film, from development through delivery. The rooms are laid out by department.
Does anything change without approval?
Not unless you change the approval mode. By default Abby proposes and you approve by hand. In the automatic modes, a schedule change inside 12 hours of call still waits for you, and every change Abby makes is logged with what it changed.
How does early access work?
