Sharing and Collaboration

EpicDraft lets you share a script with other people, edit together in real time, and lock files with a password. Sharing requires a signed-in account.

• Desktop — open the file panel and pick the Review tab; Sharing is one of its collapsible sections.
• Mobile — open the drawer, then Collaboration → Sharing.

File → Share Script… is something else: it shares the script file itself through your system's share sheet, rather than inviting collaborators.

Roles

Each collaborator has a role:

• Editor — can view and edit the script.
• Reader — read-only access, and can submit coverage.
• Owner — the person who created the file. The owner manages members, links, and encryption.

Collaborators don't need their own Pro subscription — an invitee gets full collaboration on the owner's file free.

Inviting collaborators

In the Sharing section you can:

• Invite by email — enter someone's email and pick Editor or Reader. They appear as pending until they accept.
• Invite links — generate an Editor link or Reader link to share directly. Editor links are single-use and expire after 7 days; Reader links are unlimited and never expire, so you can hand the same one to many readers. Copy or revoke any link at any time.

You can change a member's role or remove them from the member list. Scripts shared with you appear under Collaborations in your file list.

Creating new invites requires an active Cloud Service (included with every plan; lifetime purchases include 5 years). Accepting an invitation never requires one — collaborators are covered by the owner's plan — and if your Cloud Service lapses, existing collaborators keep their access and you can still manage or revoke them.

Real-time collaboration

When multiple editors have the same script open, changes sync live between them. EpicDraft uses peer-to-peer (WebRTC) connections for live editing, falling back to the cloud for signaling and persistence, so edits merge without conflicts.

File security

You can password-protect a script from Settings → File → Security — on desktop it's also in the Title tab's Security section:

• Enable encryption — set a password. The document is encrypted on your device with AES-GCM; the server only ever stores ciphertext and never sees your password or content. Enabling encryption is a Pro feature.
• Change password or Remove encryption (owner only).
• Forget password & close — clears the cached password on this device and closes the file; you'll be prompted for the password next time you open it.

Everything on an already-encrypted file — unlocking it, changing or removing the password, biometric unlock — works for everyone, deliberately: a lapsed subscription never locks anyone out of their own work. Biometric unlock is offered to any collaborator with the encrypted file open, not just the owner — see Security.

Collaborators need the password to open an encrypted file — share it with them separately, since it is never stored on the server. Encrypted scripts show a Password protected indicator in the Sharing section.

Transferring or ending collaboration

In the Sharing section's Danger zone (owner only):

• Transfer ownership — make another member the owner; you become an editor. For an encrypted file, the new owner needs an active subscription.
• Turn off collaboration — remove all collaborators and revoke all invite links at once.

Guests

People who open a shared link without an account can view the script. Guest files are listed under Guest Files (Read-Only) in the file list. If you open one while signed in, EpicDraft immediately saves an editable copy of it into My Files, so you can keep writing without affecting the original.
