Deliver

The Deliver Workspace has settings on one side and a live preview of the real output on the other. What you see in the preview is what you get.

The Deliver Workspace: format options on the left, a live title-page preview on the right

Every format sits at the top of the settings side, all at once, grouped by kind. Click one, or use the arrow keys to move between them:

  • Screenplay: PDF, Fountain
  • Document: Word, Markdown, PDF, Plain Text
  • Project file: a full .thrl file with it all.

Right under the formats sits the switch you’ll reach for most:

  • Outline mode for every document format: beat summaries instead of full text
  • Title page for a screenplay PDF

Everything else is under Advanced, which opens below the formats, so you can still switch formats while it’s open:

  • All document formats: outline mode (summaries instead of full text), toggles for including Character and Setting sections, Structure guidance, and Beat numbering
  • Markdown: YAML front matter or formatted metadata, and scene headings or prose subheadings
  • Document PDF: page numbers, page size, and page breaks before sections
  • Screenplay PDF: title page, bold scene headings, dialogue highlighting by Character color, scene and dialogue numbers, and page size

Beats marked Don’t Print in the Draft or Write workspaces are skipped by every format.

Below the formats: title, logline, and author info (name, company, address, city, country, email, phone), plus a credit line (“Written by…”) and a source note (“Based on the novel by…”) if the project needs one. All of it feeds the title page on a screenplay export. The section stays folded, showing your title, until you open it. Open it from anywhere in the app with Cmd/Ctrl+P.

Throughline warns you first: screenplay formatting doesn’t survive the trip to Markdown or Word, and you’ll lose the page layout. Switch straight to Screenplay PDF from that warning, or export anyway if that’s what you want.

The Print and Export buttons stay at the bottom of the settings side, and the Export button names the format you picked. Copy straight to the clipboard, print natively on macOS, or export to a file. The preview regenerates as you change options, so you already know what you’re getting before you hit the button.
