Banner text size, alignment, and color can be edited in this window, as well as the banner color.

To sort strips, select the icon with arrows running up and down on the top right of the stripboard panel. Within the sort window, select all strips or only unscheduled strips. Then, add a sorting condition in the search box. Select the condition, and choose ascending or descending order. To remove a condition, select the trash can icon to the right of the condition.

To search the Stripboard and Breakdown Sheets, use the search bar at the top right of the Stripboard Panel Header. You are able to search for any built-in strip information (Scene, Episode, Set, etc) or individual elements (a cast member, prop, etc).

Multiple strips can be selected by holding shift while clicking the first and last strip in your desired range. To select multiple strips that are not consecutive, simple hold down CNTL / CMD and click on each strip.
