How do I add alternate pages to my script?

Need to keep alternate pages alongside your script? the Page Manager lets you insert them anywhere, and Master Edit Mode lets you switch which pages count as the final Native version when you're ready.

Before learning the workflow, it helps to know how Scriptation handles pages. There are two kinds:

Native — Official script pages in their imported order.
Added / Inserted — Pages you've added in, such as Facing Pages and pages that were copied and pasted.

Importing the alternate pages

With your script file open, tap the Page Manager icon (the four-square grid) on the Top Toolbar:

Tap Edit:

Tap Add:

Tap Select Source Document:

Navigate to your alternate page(s) PDF and tap it.

📝 NOTE: This window provides access to cloud folders and files which have already been imported. If your source document is in an email or another location, see Importing and Opening Scripts in Scriptation.

✅ TIP for Mac users: The Select Source Document window will be a standard macOS Finder window. To learn more about Mac file storage, see Where are my files stored? (Mac).

With your file selected, tap Add after Page, then tap the chosen page to insert the alternate pages after.

✅ TIP: Once inserted, the alternate pages are considered Added / Inserted pages by Scriptation, while the original pages remain Native.

Before performing a Note Transfer, use Master Edit Mode to reassign whichever pages become the REAL pages as Native, and the out-of-date pages as Added / Inserted.

📝 NOTE: Once the out-of-date pages are reassigned, they can either remain as Added Pages within the PDF or be deleted.
