Also known as scene take · alternate take
A parallel version of a scene or act you can try without touching the main draft — another joke, another button, same script. Keep it when it wins; drop it when it does not.
A take is a parallel version of a scene or act -- another joke, another button, same surrounding script. Use it when the room will argue for twenty minutes about a local landing and you do not need a full-document fork. Keep it when it wins; drop it when it does not earn the next scene.
Draft lines remain the tool for living in an alternate version of the whole document. Mixing those scales creates chaos: people open a take expecting a new ending for the movie, or fork a draft line for a single punchline. Match tool size to experiment size before the room loses an afternoon.
Takes are part of the Pro feature set and above. Promote the winning take into the main draft when the room agrees. That promote path is the right selective workflow today -- do not wait on selective draft-line incorporate for a scene-scoped experiment you can settle with a take this week.
A draft line is a full parallel document. A take is tighter -- usually a scene or act -- so you can try an alternate without branching the whole script.

When the room picks a winner for that scene or act. Promote lands the local experiment; leave losing takes behind so they stop competing for attention.
No. Takes are scene- or act-scoped. Whole-document parallels still use draft lines; Phase 1 incorporate remains whole-document source-wins.
