An Overview of the Top Toolbar

The Top Toolbar is your main access point to all of Scriptation's features and functions.


In Scriptation 6.0, the Top Toolbar is organized into three areas:


  • Left — the File Browser;
  • Center — your Centered Tools (customizable, up to 5);
  • Right — your File Action Tools (customizable, up to 3) plus the Menu.



📝 NOTE: Top Toolbar customization is device-specific — each device can be configured separately under Settings → Toolbars. See More Icons and Customizing the Top Toolbar for the walkthrough.


File Browser


  • File Browser — The three-line icon (☰) at the far left. Storage of files and folders, both locally and in the cloud.


Centered Tools


These tools sit in the middle of the toolbar and can be reordered or swapped out from Settings → Toolbars → Centered Tools (minimum 1, maximum 5). Available options include:


  • Layers — Create, view, and share separate layers of annotations;
  • Highlight — Toggle on/off auto-highlighting;
  • Annotate — Open or close the Annotation Toolbar;
  • Transfer — Move your annotations between drafts;
  • Tagging — Break down your script and create reports for your team;
  • Playback — Read your script aloud, set up rehearsals, and record self-tapes (replaces Read, Rehearse, and Record modes from earlier versions);
  • Lining — Automatically create tram lines and export reports;
  • Analyze — Use AI to compare two drafts and have the changes explained;
  • Plus Sign (+) — Displays the remaining tools that didn't fit on the toolbar, plus a shortcut to Toolbar customization.


File Action Tools


These sit on the right side of the toolbar and act on the current file. Configurable from Settings → Toolbars → File Action Tools (minimum 1, maximum 3). Available options include:


  • Bookmark — Bookmark pages so you can access them quickly;
  • Summary — Browse through bookmarked pages and annotations in a list;
  • Page Manager — Add single blank pages, facing pages, or create sides;
  • Search — Search for keywords in the script text or in annotations.


Menu


  • Menu — The three-dot icon (⋯) at the far right. Opens a dropdown with Settings, Share options (Quick Export, Export Layers, and other sharing actions), and any File Action Tools that aren't currently pinned to the toolbar.


✅ TIP: If you use Search or another menu option often, you can move it to your Top Toolbar from Settings → Toolbars → Top Right Tools
