Changelog

Follow new updates and improvements to Scenario.

April 8th, 2026

New

Improved

Updates to Actor, Camera, and Fixture items on the diagram

  • Released April 8, 2026

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Actor “roles”

Just like the “cam” feature for cameras, “role” makes it easier to use recurring characters in a project or diagram.

  • Create roles in a whole project’s scope, or specific to a diagram

  • Style with item type, stroke/fill color, and name (changing these anywhere updates the whole scope)

  • Add easily from quick items

Camera-specific lens package scope

In many cases, it makes more sense to associate lens packages with camera packages, than with projects or diagrams. This is useful when using camera bodies with different mounts or formats, or for multi-cam TV where each camera has its own lens.

  • If a camera has a Cam assigned, you can add lenses to the “Cam” scope

  • This lens package will use the scope of the Cam itself (project or diagram), so it’s available anywhere the Cam is

Fixture beams

For Pro accounts with Cloud Library access

Visualize a fixture’s beam spread on your diagram, the same way you can see a camera’s field of view.

  • Available for most Cloud Library fixtures (and updating the rest of them)

  • For variable beams, adjust spot/flood within the fixture’s limits

  • Choose whether the beam is always visible, or only when the fixture is selected

  • Choose whether the beam is blocked by Wall items

Other fixes

  • When a shot is marked Done or Won’t Do, and that shot contains multiple cameras connected by arrows, the arrows are also made lighter (like the cameras)

April 1st, 2026

New

The new Frame item, plus other fixes and improvements

  • Released April 1, 2026

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Frame items

Frames are a super-flexible item for light control planning. Now you can:

  • Create a Frame at any size

  • Choose that Frame’s pipe style, rag material, and control grid

  • Adjust the Frame’s tilt between flat and upright

See Frames for more details!

Diagram editor improvements

  • Added “Frames” and “Name Labels” to the Layers > Types sidebar, so you can hide or lock all of them with one click

  • Hold spacebar and click-and-drag to move the diagram canvas

  • Added a space between Frame Images and borders, to make colors more noticeable

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that could display a half-white screen when app-switching on iPad

March 12th, 2026

New

Fixed

Shot List, Patch List, and more diagram export options

  • Released March 12, 2026

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Shot List

This tool provides maximum flexibility for how you want to work.

  • Build the list from either "direction” (or some combination of the two)

    • Add cameras to the diagram and add details later

    • List all your shots and then drag them onto the diagram

  • Label shots with their number, as well as other details (INT/EXT, DAY/NIGHT, etc)

  • Keep track of shot status (To-Do, Done, Won’t Do)

  • Add dividers for context (lighting turnaround, meals, etc)

  • Export the shot list as a PDF

Multiple images per shot

Add up to 10 images to a shot’s “frame images”

  • Include storyboards, viewfinder images, etc

  • Open the frame images modal to view, add, remove, and re-order

  • All images are included in the PDF export

Patch List

  • Displays all fixtures on the diagram, sorted by whether or not they have a Channel and Address value

  • Update DMX values and add notes in a list view

  • Displays “patch conflicts” when two channels are assigned the same address

  • Export the list as a PDF

Export options

  • For a diagram, choose to export as a PDF, PNG, or JPG

  • For Shot List and Patch List, choose portrait or landscape orientation for a PDF

Bug fixes

  • Right-clicking an item and choosing “Edit Name” would not display the name label if it was hidden; now it displays temporarily

  • Some items (such as cars) were still being added as Fixtures; now they’re generic Items

February 18th, 2026

New

Sync projects to Google Calendar, and new diagram features.

  • Released February 18, 2026

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Google Calendar sync

We just added “Sign In with Google” to make account creation quicker; now, you can use that same Google account to sync Project dates.

  • In Account > Connect, toggle on the option to “Sync Projects to calendar”

  • Any Projects that have dates assigned will appear, but individual Projects can be toggled on/off at any time

  • Shared Projects sync too (each user sets their own calendar preference)

Diagram features

  • Curved walls - toggle Wall item control points between “corner” and “curve”

  • Flip items - for multi-selected items and Groups, mirror their arrangement (horizontally or vertically) with a button in the Details sidebar

  • Save to device Photos - when adding an Image item or Camera frame image, you can choose to take a photo directly in Scenario. Now, that photo is also added to your device’s camera roll.

February 6th, 2026

New

Fixed

Updates to login and navigation, plus a new camera feature.

  • Released February 6, 2026

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Sign-In with Google and Apple

  • Create a Scenario account and sign into it using a Google or Apple account

  • If your email matches the email already on your account, no setup is needed

  • Add a new account in the Account > Connect tab

    • This works even if the email address doesn’t match

    • You can connect one of each account

Left navigation bar

  • The left nav bar is now visible on all screens wide enough to show it (not mobile)

  • Added a new item: Editor, which is the Diagram editor

  • Now ALL accounts – including Free Demo – can view the Projects and Network screens

    • Free Demo accounts are now able to see other users’ Projects that are shared with them, directly in the app (still cannot create your own Projects)

    • All users have access to in-app Help Chat, Roadmap, Add Ideas, Updates, and User Guide

Camera assignment

  • Create different “cams” to indicate which camera is which (A cam, B cam, etc)

    • Customize colors and body style for each

    • Like lenses, cams can apply to a whole Project, or an individual Diagram

    • Copy and paste sets of cams, for reuse

  • Hovering over the quick-add Camera shows a list of cams to drag and drop

  • Changing a cam for a Camera in an Arrow path changes all connected Cameras

Bug fixes

New

Improved

Fixed

Text formatting, and some Diagrams improvements

  • Released January 30, 2026

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

  • For Text items, also use bulleted/numbered lists and text justification, as well as styling individual text selections

  • Toggle items’ label visibility on/off with a button, rather than having to delete the text to hide the label

  • See Markup, Text, Images for more details

Diagram editor improvements

  • In Cloud Library (for Pro accounts), select a Manufacturer and/or Category, and browse results without having to search

  • On mobile devices with small screens, the bottom actions bar now “stacks” into two rows, instead of presenting vertically on the left side (for Markup, Text formatting, and any other item with lots of actions)

Bug fixes

  • For Free Demo accounts, removed an option to duplicate Diagrams (Free Demo provides only one Diagram)

December 23rd, 2025

New

Improved

Keeping your work safe with a new “Deleted” folder, and some design updates.

  • Released December 23, 2025

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

“Deleted” view

Although it’s possible to “undo” deleting a Project, Diagram, or List, sometimes mistakes happen, and you may find that one of them got away. But now there’s good news: it’s not gone!

To recover a deleted file, go to the Projects view (close the Diagram if you’re in one), and in the Project “status” drop-down, select “Deleted.”

  • This shows all your deleted Projects, with the most recently deleted first

  • Deleted Folders, Diagrams, and Lists can be found in the “container projects” with those names

  • Select an item to “Restore” it to its original parent context

  • Items stay in the “Deleted” view for 14 days after being deleted

Projects sidebar updates

We’ve simplified how selecting items works in the Project sidebar, so it’s easier to tell what’s actually selected.

  • Only one item is selected at a time (with the blue highlight)

  • The visible Diagram (and sometimes List) show the “eye” icons

  • Using the bottom “Duplicate” and “Delete” buttons will always perform that action on the selected item

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue that saved a .txt file with Diagram PDFs

December 18th, 2025

New

Improved

Fixed

Starting now, we’re sending version updates to all users via email. If you’d like to unsubscribe from email updates, click the link at the bottom of the email. You can always find these updates in the bottom left corner of the app Projects view, and new updates will still appear when you open the app.

Lots of new features, including Markup, new items, and more!

  • Released December 12, 2025

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Markup improvements

Markup no longer creates individual layers, which become difficult to manage and make it hard to select other items. Now, it all stays in one layer above the rest. Use the top left button (or M key) to toggle it on and off.

  • Added new tools: Marker and Pen (which replace the single “Draw” tool), plus Rectangle, Ellipse, Line, and Arrow

  • Once added, a Markup item can be resized, and have its style changed (color, thickness, dotted/dashed/solid). Use the “Select” pointer tool and click on items to see the options.

Diagram editor updates

  • Arrows can now be connected to Text items, for flowchart functionality

  • Hold the Option or Alt key and drag an item to duplicate it quickly

  • Added a generic “Item” type, for items that don’t use targeting (like props and landscaping)

  • Support for HEIC format images

  • Request new Cloud Library fixtures directly from the Add Item sidebar

New items

Cameras:

  • Underwater Camera

Fixtures:

  • Canoe

  • Kayak

  • Raft

  • Rowboat

  • Sailboat

  • Jet Ski

  • Fishing Boat

  • Speedboat

Items:

  • Compass

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where text would not be rotated properly on PDFs

  • Rotating items clockwise from “upright” would cause a small jump in rotation

November 26th, 2025

Added the Favorites feature, along with a reorganized toolbar.

  • Released November 26, 2025

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

New toolbar

We’ve reorganized the toolbar to give you more space to work, and clearer organization.

  • Smaller buttons

  • Moved the “quick items” to a new section

Favorites

Keep a list of your most-used items for each Project.

  • Assign items to 9 slots from the Add Item sidebar, or the Diagram canvas

  • Use drag-and-drop, clicking buttons, or keystrokes to assign and place Favorites

  • Right-click to copy, paste, and delete

Images from Camera

For tablets and phones, add an Image item (or Camera frame image) directly from your device camera, instead of having to take the photo first and then import it.

November 20th, 2025

More options in the Projects sidebar, full-screen and lock buttons for Diagrams, and a manually sort-able list view for Project contents.

  • Released November 20, 2025

  • Availability: all devices, all accounts

Full-screen and Lock

Use the new Fullscreen button (or the F key) to temporarily hide the top toolbar, and any sidebars that are open. This allows you to view your Diagram with all your screen space, and still interact with the items on it.

The new Lock button prevents interacting with your Diagram (except to unlock it again). Use it in combination with the Fullscreen button to present without changing anything!

Projects sidebar

The Projects sidebar just got more powerful! Now you can:

  • Create new Projects, Folders, Diagrams, and Lists

  • Rearrange the order, and drop into different Projects and Folders

Re-order Diagrams and Lists

In addition to creating and re-ordering in the Projects sidebar, switch to viewing a Project’s contents as a list instead of thumbnails. This allows you to re-order contents the same way.

Scenario doesn’t currently support re-ordering the thumbnail grid. To view as thumbnails, switch to sorting by name.

Android subscription management

Now you can create a subscription to the Google Play Store! If you prefer to manage your subscription on your Android device, just use that to create your new subscription. See Scenario account for more details.

Bug fixes

  • Could not rename Departments and Positions in a Project’s crew
