How can I quickly move through my script?

The fastest way to move through your script is by using the Thumbnail Bar. By default, a row of page thumbnails appears at the bottom of the screen — touch or click and drag across the thumbnails to jump to any page.

💡 TIP: Want to adjust or hide the Thumbnail Bar? See How do I adjust or disable the Thumbnail Bar? for the full walkthrough, or scroll down to the Thumbnails setting below.

📝 NOTE: Don't see the Thumbnail Bar? Just like the Top Toolbar, touch or click anywhere on the script to make it appear / disappear.

✅ TIP: For hands-free reading, pair the Thumbnail Bar with Auto Scroll.

The page navigation settings live in the Settings Menu. Touch or click the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top right, then select Settings. In the Settings modal, go to the General tab.

From here, you can adjust Page Mode, Scroll Direction, Page Transition, Page Fitting, and Thumbnails — let's take a closer look at each. You'll surely discover the presets that work for you!

Page Mode

Single — Shows 1 page at a time, regardless of how you're holding the device;
Double — Shows 2 pages at a time, regardless of how you're holding the device;
Automatic — Changes with your device configuration. When the device is held in Portrait, it's Single. When the device is held in Landscape, it's Double.

Scroll

Vertical — Move between pages by swiping up / down;
Horizontal — Move between pages by swiping left / right.

Page Transition

Jump — Views 1 full page at a time;
Continuous — Allows partial view of pages as you swipe through the script;
Curl — Animates the page turn as if you were turning a page in a binder!

💡 TIP: The fastest way to swipe through your script on iOS is by setting Page Transition to Continuous.

Page Fitting

Fit — A full script page will be displayed regardless of screen orientation. You might have to zoom in to make notes;
Fill — A full script page fills the width of the screen at all times. You might have to scroll up / down to make notes;
Adaptive — Changes with device configuration. When the device is held in Portrait, it's Fit. In Landscape, it's Fill.

Thumbnails

Floating — A condensed and taller thumbnail display;
Docked — An expanded and shorter thumbnail display;
None — Disables the thumbnail bar entirely, only displaying the page number.
