The Library, and working with no signal

The Library is the production's single source of truth on Stage Company™: scripts and scores, designs, production notes, video, audio, photos and useful links, always the current version.

Opening and downloading

  • Tap a file to open it in the app.
  • Under a file's name, Options holds Copy link, Download when the production team allows it, and, for a PDF, Keep an offline copy. A View only file opens and plays in the app, but can't be downloaded.
  • Videos play in the app; only the show's owners can download them. A track's ⬇ Download audio sits under its player.
  • The production team finds Rename and Delete in Options too, and so does whoever added a file when they were given upload or added it by their own role.

Adding a file

The production team adds files and useful links, and so does anyone they've let upload: their New library upload and Add a useful link keys sit beside the Library's title, and they can change or remove the links they added from All links. If your show lets members offer files, tap Offer a file to the Library, then Send for approval; it shows "With the production team for approval" until they decide. Adding files often? Tap Ask to upload straight in.

Something here breaks the rules?

At the very foot of a file's page, tap Report it. The show's owners see your name and what you write; whoever added it isn't told who reported it. Anything that puts a child in danger goes to Stage Company™ and the owners. You're told what became of it. See Privacy and safety.

My script & score

In Cast Notes, keep up to five copies of your own to mark up. Only you can see them — not the production team, not the rest of the cast, and not the show's owners. Save as PDF gives you a copy with your marks, unless the Library has that script as view only.

With no signal

  • Rooms you've opened on this device still open with no signal.
  • To keep a Library PDF on this device, open it and tap Options → Keep an offline copy, then Keep a copy. From then on it opens straight away, signal or not. The key isn't there for files over 500 MB, or while your phone is saving data. A device keeps up to 500 MB of them, 40 at most, letting go first of the one you opened longest ago.
  • A kept PDF leaves the device when a newer version is uploaded (the new one is kept once you open it), when you haven't opened it here for 30 days, when you leave the show, and when you sign out.
  • Word, Excel and other office files need a signal.
  • Your copies in My script & score are kept on the device too. Marks made with no signal show Not saved yet, and save once you're back online.
  • Rooms that hold people's private details — People, Settings and profiles among them — only open with a signal.
