An Overview of the Annotation Toolbar
Meet the Annotation Toolbar
There are a lot of different ways you can mark up scripts in Scriptation so let's start from the top. When you first open Scriptation, this is what your Annotation Toolbar will look like.

However if you press and hold on the tools that have a small caret next to the icon, you can expand the toolbar to access additional tools, like this...

TIP: The toolbar will expand/contract depending on your screen size and/or iPad orientation. So, if you ever don't see a tool you need, keep in mind that it might be minimized in one of the carrot icons.
