Anonymous asked: If I am using Script for android and make a change offline, does it upload the changes next time I sync on an internet connection? If so, what happens if by chance I make the changes offline in Script, then before I sync to the cloud, I make changes on the Desktop software and sync from there first, then sync the Android Script version? Which one takes precedence, the one that was last synced...

travisaward asked: I am very confused by Celtx Edge. I have no idea how to add a storyboard. At no point do I have an option to create or add a storyboard, to any project. Please help!
Anonymous asked: I recently purchased Celtx Edge/Plus, with the storyboard add on pictures. I'm trying to import additional pictures into the storyboard feature but cannot find any way to do it. Also, when reading the Celtx manual, the format shown is completely different than what I have. I would really like to make sure I have access to everything purchased. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
