How can I edit script text or dialogue?

Scriptation can't edit the script's text directly, but you can cover a line with a Text Box that matches your script's font and page color.


In this example, we'll replace the line circled in blue, "What happened to the old pages?", with "I know what happens to those pages."



  1. Tap the Text icon on the Annotation Toolbar;



  1. Tap a spot on the page and type the new line (you can also use Siri or Scribble);
  2. From the keyboard bar, match the Font, Size, and Color to your script, and set the Fill Color to your page color so the old line is hidden;
  3. Tap Done;



  1. Tap and drag the text box so it sits directly on top of the old line.



✅ TIP: Want to remember which lines you changed? Use a very light Fill Color instead of an exact match.
