What else you need

Screen1280 × 720 or larger is best. The side-by-side workspace fits down to about 900 × 560; smaller windows stack the panels. Tablet mode makes controls bigger on touch screens.
ScriptA PDF with selectable text works best. Scanned PDFs open, but finding characters, captions and relining need text.
PrintingAny printer, or save as PDF.
InternetNot needed in the theatre. Used to install and update, for the license check at least once every 7 days, and for optional features you turn on (the AI assistant with an online service, update checks, webmail links).
