Scripts shared with you

Productions share material with specific people, not with everyone on a project. Anything shared with you appears under Shared Scripts, with a viewer.

Scripts and sides

You will usually be given sides rather than a full screenplay — just the scenes you are in. That is normal practice and not a slight; a full script is restricted material on most productions.

If a production shares the whole script, it appears the same way.

Access is granted, and can be withdrawn

Access is per person. A production can revoke it, and the script stops opening in the viewer at once. A copy you already downloaded cannot be recalled.

A production may also send you a named copy to download. It is traceable to you and still the production's material, so do not forward it.

If something will not open

If a script you could read yesterday is gone today, access was almost certainly withdrawn — which usually means the draft changed or casting moved on. Ask the production rather than assuming it is a fault.
