: Any way for revisions to show up in a different color from an older saved .fdr to a newer saved .fdr in version 7 of FinalDraft? Need some help on how to have updated changes show up in

In Final Draft 7, if you run the ScriptCompare tool (Tools > ScriptCompare) against the previous day's file, it generates a document that shows the changes from that version. You could send the changes file, along with the latest screenplay file, to your writing partner - or your writing partner could generate the changes file him/herself against their previous version of the script.

Alternatively, if you are revising an existing script, you can use the production tools to track changes by locking the script (Production > Lock Pages) - this locks page numbers and shows changes with asterisks in the margins, which you could eventually 'unlock' again - but for anything more than a few pages worth of revisions, usually during production, this would be quite painful and probably counter-productive.
