Arc vs Studio: Feature Availability at Launch

Where every feature currently lives across Arc and Studio, what is Arc-first by design, and what is on the roadmap for ScreenCloud Arc.

Arc is ScreenCloud's new enterprise product, launching October 2026. It ships focused, built around four outcomes, not as a Studio clone. Some Studio features are already in Arc; some aren't yet.

This article shows where every feature currently lives, so you know what to expect. Arc's feature set is expanding fast, so treat this as the position at launch and check back for updates.

Roadmap Notes

Arc is a new product and its feature set is expanding every quarter. Anything showing "Not in Arc" today may land in a future Arc release, and we will update this article as things ship.

Anything showing "Not in Studio" is Arc-first by design. These are capabilities built specifically for how Arc operates.


Questions?

A feature I use in Studio isn't in Arc, what do I do?

If your organisation is on both Studio and Arc, keep using the feature in Studio for now. Your Studio account continues to work as it always has. The feature may land in Arc in a future release, and Arc's roadmap is expanding fast.

Will Arc reach feature parity with Studio?

Arc isn't a Studio clone. It's a new product built around four focused outcomes, and every feature earns its place. Many Studio capabilities will make their way into Arc, but Arc also has native capabilities Studio doesn't, including Quick Post, Auto-design, Collections, Linked posts and AI feed transformation.

Can I move from Studio to Arc?

Talk to your ScreenCloud contact. Migration paths exist and we will help you plan. Your specific feature dependencies will shape the timing.
