This release brings back one of your most requested features: you can now
save rundown rows straight into Global Elements
. We also added a
Cmd/Ctrl + Enter
shortcut for working down a column, sped up the prompter's top speeds, made prompter and rundown editors more aware of each other, and fixed a batch of row number, tracking and printing bugs.
New
Save Rows to Global Elements
Built a row in your script that you want to reuse? Save it straight to Global Elements without retyping it in the panel.
  • Right-click a row number and choose
    Save Row to GEM
    .
  • Pick the element set to save it to and, if you like, add labels.
  • The row's values are copied into the element set using your column mapping. The row stays linked to the new element, so you can choose
    Publish Changes to GEM
    later to push your edits.
  • Available to Team Admins on teams with Global Elements.

Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to Save and Move Down
While editing a cell, press
⌘ Enter
(Mac) or
Ctrl + Enter
(Windows) to save it and jump to the cell directly below. It works in Rich text cells and All timing cells, so you can work down a column without reaching for the mouse.
CleanShot 2026-10-16 at 11
Improved
Prompter View
Speeds 15 to 20 now ramp up much faster, and speed 20 (about 3.5x faster than before). This applies to the speed slider, the keyboard and the Contour Shuttle.
See Who's Editing in the Prompter
Editing content in the prompter view now works like editing a cell in the rundown, so prompter and rundown users can no longer potentially overwrite each other without knowing.
  • While someone has a script cell open in the prompter, the rundown shows their name on that cell, and anyone who starts editing it gets the "Cell already being edited" warning.
  • Opening a Script cell in prompter view that someone else is editing in rundown view shows the same warning first.
  • People viewing the prompter now show up in the rundown's active user avatar stack.
Show Caller Tracking
With Follow tracking / auto scrolling on , opening or reloading a rundown now more reliably scrolls to the tracked row and places it higher up on the screen then before, with its group header still in view (if using groups)
Fixed
  • Prompter row numbers now match the rundown, including decimal numbers for rows in groups (2.1, 2.2)
  • Swapping a row into or out of a group now shows the right row numbers right away, for everyone viewing the rundown, without a refresh.
  • Group headers no longer show Start → End or Total times when the rundown has no Start Time or Duration column. (never added or manually archived)
  • PDFs with floated rows now print all pages on macOS
  • Rundown v2 templates created from the team dashboard's Templates tab now include the correct column structure.
  • Closing a timing cell no longer shows the "Timing updated" message twice.
We're excited to share quite a few updates and improvements in this release. We're introducing an all-new feature,
Floating Rows
. We also heard your requests to bring back
PDF presets
, now with better preset management so you can rename and delete them, and you can now set up column layouts right in the PDF export. We improved word export, anchor times, more accurate est end timing, and various bug fixes.
New
Floating Rows
Float a row to keep it in your rundown while taking it out of the running show. It's perfect for backup rows, holds, and optional content you want ready to go without throwing off your timing.
  • Right-click a row number and choose
    Float Row
    . Select several rows first to float / un float them all at once.
  • Right-click a group header and choose
    Float Group
    to float the whole group.
  • Floated rows are dimmed with diagonal stripes, so they're easy to spot.
  • Floated rows add no time to your start times or header clocks, tracking skips right over them, and any scripts in floated rows are hidden from prompter view in real time.
  • Admins and Show Callers can float and unfloat rows.
Give it a try and let us know what you think.
CleanShot 2026-09-29 at 2
PDF Presets Are Back
Save your PDF export settings as a preset that everyone on the rundown can use. A preset saves the orientation, paper size, repeat column headers setting, and which columns print in what order.
  • Pick a preset from the new
    Preset
    menu at the top of the PDF export dialog.
    Personal view
    uses your own column layout.
  • Change a setting while a preset is selected, then click
    Save
    to update it for everyone, or
    Save as new preset…
    to keep the original.
  • NEW: Rename or delete a preset from its
    ⋯
    menu.

Choose Which Columns Print
The PDF export dialog has a new
Columns
section where you can
hide and rearrange
the columns that print. It only changes that export, so your view of the rundown (and everyone else's) stays the same.
CleanShot 2026-08-24 at 09
Improved
Row Highlights on Group Headers rows
Row groups now support row highlights. Select a group header and pick a fill color from the toolbar to color the whole header. The color carries through to PDF exports and guest passes too.
Anchor & Typed Time Markers
After your feedback, we changed how the Start Time and Preset Time columns mark their times, so it's easier to tell an anchor from an overridden time.
  • Anchors
    show an up-and-down arrow with a dashed underline, since timing flows out of them in both directions.
  • Times you type
    show an arrow with a line, since they start the count and feed the rows after them.
  • The dashed underline now only marks anchors.
CleanShot 2026-09-29 at 2
Word Export Text Size & Empty Rows
Word export has two new settings.
Text Size
sets the size of the script text, from 10 to 36 pt.
Hide Empty Rows
lets you choose whether rows without script content are included.
CleanShot 2026-09-29 at 2
More Accurate Over / Under End Time
The
End
time on the Over / Under clock now counts forward from the current time, so it reflects a late start, rows running long, and rows you cut or float before they come up.
Also improved:
  • List types now line up correctly with centered and right-aligned text, and numbered lists with 10 or more items no longer cut off their numbers.
  • When an edit fails to save, the error now shows in red and stays on screen until you dismiss it, so it's a lot harder to miss.
Fixed
  • Edits can no longer get lost or undone when teammates work in the same row at the same time. This includes typing that disappeared when someone else changed the same row, and quick back-to-back edits overwriting each other.
  • Clicking into a cell to edit it no longer can potentially cause the rundown to jump, and your cursor now lands where you clicked.
  • fixed bug where rows could intermittently disappear and leave a blank gap after a quick click on a row number.
  • PDF exports now stamp the footer with your event's time zone instead of local time.
  • Text highlights now exports to Word correctly.
  • Saved backups no longer show up in the rundown switcher.
  • Adding and removing guest pass columns works reliably, turning a column off keeps it in place in the list, and your changes stick after a refresh.
  • Long Global Elements set names no longer push the Migrate and Open buttons out of view in Rundown Settings.
New
Copy and paste rows across rundowns
You can now copy and paste rows across rundowns. The mapping system will even work when column sets don't match 1:1. Auto match column types and column titles and support for pasting across different tabs.
CleanShot 2026-08-03 at 08
Improved
Accessibility changes to timing columns:
To better support accessibility and our cell fill color pallet, we've made some changes to timing cells:
  • Anchor start time and Preset Times
    now display as a dashed underline instead of using green text only
  • Start Time gap or overlap
    detection now displays with a top right corner flag as opposed to red text.
  • Over/under column
    now displays values with +/- prefix only as opposed to red text
CleanShot 2026-08-10 at 08
Fixed
  • PDF exports now automatically detect and apply page breaks to ensure rows never stretch across two pages.
  • Inserting global elements into Groups wasn't being placed correctly
  • Certain letters getting clipped from row group titles
  • Prompter auto scrolling hotkey controls could sometimes not work when using both footer buttons and hotkeys together.
This release introduces an all new
Row grouping
and sub cue system. We've also added two new list types to use:
numbered lists and checklists
for tasks.
Row Groups & Sub Cues
You can now fold your rundowns into
Row groups
!
  • Groups are collapsable/expandable
  • Sub cue numbers auto applied (5.1,5.2,5.3, etc)
  • Parent rows will also conditionally visualize the total duration sum of the sub cues and the start -> end time when used.
  • drag and drop to insert or remove sub cues from group
  • drag and drop parent rows to move entire groups.
Give it a try and and let us know what you think and if you have any other ideas of how we can improve it. 😁

Release notes 6/23/26

This release pins the number column while scrolling, adds flexible start times across multiple rows, lets you choose PDF paper size, and new enhancements to the Speaker Timer view. It also improves prompter editing, copy & paste, and real-time Global Elements, and fixes several row-ordering and collaboration bugs

CleanShot 2026-06-23 at 14
Start Time
  • You can now pin a fixed start time to
    any
    number of rows, not just one. Rows above each anchor count backward to it, and rows after your final anchor roll forward from it.
  • We also renamed "show start" to "anchor" throughout for clarity.
  • New arrow indicators added to start time cells to better visualize the directional flow of timing
CleanShot 2026-06-23 at 14

Letter, Legal, Tabloid, or A4
previously every export was locked to Letter.
CleanShot 2026-06-23 at 14
Speaker Timer View
A round of polish with a new configurable module for the Speaker Timer view:
  • New configurable
    "Up Next" card
    to see whats coming up next
  • speaker notes that
    automatically size themselves
    to fill the space (large for short notes, scaling down for longer ones so nothing ever gets cut off),
  • better proportional scaling on large displays.
CleanShot 2026-06-23 at 14
Improved
Smoother prompter editing
Moving in and out of edit mode in the prompter no longer can cause a row to jump or resize.
Smarter copy & paste into cells
Pasted text from clipboard now drops inherited fonts from 3rd party apps and forced black text that would appear "black-on-black" in dark themes is corrected.
Global Elements
  • When editing elements we now
    focus and jump to that item
    in the table view to make it easier for larger element sets
  • Edits made in a Global Element panel now update
    in real time
    across tabs and for everyone collaborating .
  • Each Global Element set can now map its columns independently, so one rundown column can pull from different sources per element set.
Fixed
  • Resolved a set of issues where rows could appear out of order during real-time updates or when several people reordered rows at the same time.
  • Fixed a collaboration bug where changing a cell's formatting (like its background color) could quietly overwrite newer text someone else had just typed in that cell.
  • Fixed errors (including a failure on conversion) when migrating element sets to GEM 2.0
  • Fixed issue where row highlight weren't being inserted with drag and drop
We are happy to announce Global Element Manager (GEM) has been completely rebuilt for the new rundown version. Browse, insert, edit, and publish your elements in the all new gem side panel. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think 🫶
