## Product questions

### Can I write a screenplay online for free?
Plotiva provides automatic screenplay formatting with no trial or page limit. It runs in a JavaScript-enabled browser without installing a desktop app. Source: https://plotiva.in/welcome

### Do I need an account?
No. Signed-out screenplays are stored in the current browser on the current device. Optional Google sign-in adds backup and sync across devices. Source: https://plotiva.in/private

### Can I work offline?
Yes, after the app has loaded and its offline shell has been cached. The first visit needs a connection. Signed-out work stays local; clearing browser data can erase it. Keep exported backups. Sources: https://plotiva.in/private and https://plotiva.in/terms

### What formats can I import and export?
Import and export Fountain plain-text screenplay files; export formatted PDFs with a title page. PDF export is for reading and sharing, not an editable backup. Sources: https://plotiva.in/welcome and https://plotiva.in/guide/fountain

### Does it help with screenplay formatting?
The editor formats scene headings, action, character cues, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions. Public guides explain formatting and Fountain syntax. Sources: https://plotiva.in/guide/screenplay-format and https://plotiva.in/guide/fountain
