How do I delete pages from my script?
Scripts in Scriptation have two types of pages, and deletion works differently for each:
- Added pages — pages you've inserted yourself (Facing Pages, copy-pasted pages, Library templates, custom PDFs or images) can be deleted from the Page Manager without restriction.
- Native pages — the original script pages, in their imported order, are locked by default to protect Note Transfer. They can be deleted in special cases using Master Edit Mode.
Deleting added pages
- Tap the Page Manager icon on the Top Toolbar.
- Tap Edit.
- Tap the added page you want to delete. A black circle appears on the page to confirm it's selected.
- Tap Remove.
- Tap Save to confirm.
Deleting native script pages
Native pages are intentionally locked by default — writers don't want their words deleted, and Scriptation relies on script pages staying in their imported order so the Note Transfer algorithm can work effectively.
Scriptation has an advanced Master Edit Mode that allows Native page deletions in certain circumstances. Here are three common scenarios:
1. You received Revised Pages and not the fully collated script
Use Collate Pages to integrate your new pages, transfer the annotations, and automatically delete the old pages. You don't have to manually remove pages when you use Collate.
2. Your script was imported with blank or extra pages
Use Master Edit Mode and follow those instructions through step 8. Then tap Edit, select the black circles on the pages you want to delete, and tap Remove.
3. The above situations don't apply — you just need to delete certain pages
Carefully read the instructions for Master Edit Mode. This mode allows admin-level settings for modifying pages. After assigning your script pages to Added status, you'll be able to Remove them.
