A web show on Live Producer Platform has a draft, which the team edits together, and published versions, numbered 1, 2, 3. The Studio only ever takes a published version, never the draft. Publishing is how a change reaches the Mac that runs the show.
Publishing
Section titled “Publishing”On the web, Publish Version N makes the draft the next version, with an optional note of what changed. Anyone who edits the script can publish: an admin, a showrunner or a section’s editor. A version is always the whole script. The versions are kept, so the team can see what each one changed.
Closing the script
Section titled “Closing the script”When the script is final, the showrunner clicks Close Script. The script is published one last time, when the draft differs from the last version, and becomes read-only for everyone: the web shows a banner with who closed it, when, and the Show Version it ended on. Open pages switch to read-only on the spot. Reopen Script gives everyone their rights back. See Close the script.
Pulling a version
Section titled “Pulling a version”A show in the Studio takes its script from one web show. Pull in the Script window brings the published version into the show the first time, with its files, into the show’s folder; after that, the web show bar offers Pull Version N… whenever a newer one is published. A version never comes in by itself: the operator decides when, so a rehearsal or a show on air is never changed under them.
A pull brings the script only. The layers, shots and sources stay as they are, and nothing on the program changes. What the script asks of the show is listed by Suggest Setup Changes, to apply row by row; see Setup from the script. The Studio never sends anything back: the script and its files are changed on the web.
What a version replaces, and what it keeps
Section titled “What a version replaces, and what it keeps”A version replaces the script’s content: sections, parts, words, slide marks, presenters’ names and titles, script tags, notes, links and times. It keeps what is this Mac’s: which source plays which role, the layers, the show folder, presenters’ photos, and the shots. Sections and parts found again keep their identity and get the new words and times. A removed part leaves the script; its shots stay until you remove them.
After a pull, the Script window marks what the version changed until you dismiss it; see Script window.
What the Mac decides
Section titled “What the Mac decides”What the operator decides at the desk is never part of a version: running a part’s recording instead of the live take, or turning the slides by a click. Those are not saved.
