# How do I add Dialogue Numbering to my script?

Scriptation can automatically number (or letter) every line of dialogue in your script — perfect for cueing, reference, and breakdown work where you need to call out specific lines quickly.

This is handled by the **Dialogue Numbers** Info Layer, part of Scriptation's [Info Layers](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-info-layers-and-how-do-i-use-them-1gkr5qc/) feature.

|| 📝 NOTE: Info Layers are an [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) feature.

### Turning on dialogue numbers

1. With your script open, tap **Layers** on the Top Toolbar;

| ✅ TIP: If the **Layers** icon isn't showing in the Top Toolbar, touch or click the plus sign on the right side to show additional icons. To pin it permanently, see [Customizing the Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/more-icons-and-customizing-the-top-toolbar-v1u97a/).

2. In the Layers side panel, find the **Info Layers** section and toggle on **Dialogue Numbers**;

3. Scriptation counts every line of dialogue and places the corresponding number or letter next to each one.

### Customizing dialogue numbers

Open the **Settings** option at the bottom of the Layers side panel to customize:

* **Location** — **Left** of character names, **Above** character names, or **Right margin** on the same line;
* **Color** — **Black**, **Red**, or **Blue**;
* **Format** — **Numerical** (1, 2, 3, …) or **Alphabetical** (A, B, C, …);
* **Order** — **Restart Each Scene** (count resets at every scene header) or **Full Script** (continuous count across the whole script).

|| 📝 NOTE: Dialogue Numbering doesn't work for scenes that contain dual dialogue. Any scene with dual dialogue (and the full script, if **Full Script** order is selected) will have inaccurate numbering.
