Montage employs a whole new way of writing scripts.

For

instance, you write three versions of the same scene in Scene
View, all slightly different, with statuses of "First Draft"
"Second Draft" and "Third Draft". Then, create a Smart View to
view the script using only the "Third Draft" version.

There is great flexibility of making a view that shows only
things you want to see based on criteria you set. Now make
that view auto-updating and you understand the essence of
Smart Views. A Smart View can be used for script revisions and
for script breakdowns. With Smart Views, you can do all this
and more.

Smart Views can be based on any view. In this chapter, we’ll
show you how to set up a Smart View as well as take
advantage of Smart Views’ functionality.
