In each panel, there are four caption fields: Dialogue, Action Notes, Slugging and Notes. If you need to enter more information, you can add a new caption for your panels. The new caption will be available for every panel in your storyboard.
In the Storyboard view, by default, there is only one caption field which is called Script. If you need to, you can add more captions to this view such as production notes. These captions are only for reference and will not be exported.
