Analysis and versions
What analysis produces, how source versions work, and comparing drafts.
What analysis produces
When Prescene analyzes a script it builds:
- a profile: logline, summary, tone, and tags
- a scene map: every scene with its beats and story function
- characters and entities: who appears, where, and how they change
- locations and story elements
- page and scene references that help you check key notes against the script
This analysis powers everything else: the assistant, Coverage, workflows, and version comparison.
Source versions
Every upload is kept as its own version. The title always shows its current analyzed version, and you can open any older version from the version picker. When a new upload is analyzing, the title shows "Analyzing the new version" and switches over when it is done. If an analysis fails, your title stays on the last good version and you can retry. A failed upload does not cost you your working state.
Comparing versions
Version comparison, available on Plus, Pro, and Max, shows scenes added, cut, or rewritten, characters who appear or disappear, and changes in story shape. It uses scene identity rather than only raw text, so it can track a moved scene as the same scene.
