Choose what to copy
Section titled “Choose what to copy”Script content, including acts, scenes, places and musical entries, is always copied. The two switches are initially off:
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Copy settings | Keeps page layout, block styles and flow settings, initial-page settings, headers and footers. Otherwise the copy uses defaults. |
| Copy attributes | Keeps confirmed characters and groups with their details. Without it, names in the copied writing are unconfirmed. |
The copy starts without the original subtitle or title-page details. Music attachments and comments are not copied by this action. Check the new script before using it as your rehearsal draft.
Use a .stepkg file when you want a portable backup with metadata and attachments. Duplicating a draft and restoring a package serve different needs.
