How do I edit Info Layers like Dialogue Numbers?

Info Layers are regenerated automatically each time your script changes — every new revision, every customization tweak. That auto-regeneration is what makes Info Layers powerful, but it also means they aren't editable by default. To edit an Info Layer's individual annotations, duplicate it first — duplication creates an editable copy you can adjust like any other Layer.


📝 NOTE: Info Layers are an Industry Pro feature.


How to duplicate an Info Layer


  1. Open the Layers sidebar and find the Info Layer you want to edit. Next to each Info Layer is a boxed plus icon, [ + ]. Tap it to begin duplicating;
  2. You'll be prompted to Copy Info Layer, with a note that "this will duplicate the selected layer and convert the data into editable annotations." Tap Yes;

  1. The duplicated Info Layer appears in My Layers as your active layer, and the auto-generated version is toggled off automatically.

What you can do with a duplicated Info Layer


Once duplicated, the copy is a regular editable Layer — you can:


  • Edit individual annotations — move, resize, recolor, or delete them.
  • Merge it into another Layer to combine your edits with other annotation work.
  • Export or share it like any other Layer.
  • Transfer it to a new draft along with your other annotations.

⚠️ HEADS UP: When you duplicate an Info Layer, the copy is frozen at that moment — changes you make later to the Info Layer's appearance settings won't affect the duplicate. To apply updated customizations, regenerate the Info Layer and duplicate it again. Your earlier edits won't carry over to the new duplicate.


Want to start over?


If you've duplicated an Info Layer, made edits, and want to reset:


  1. Toggle the Info Layer back on in the Layers sidebar — it'll regenerate fresh.
  2. Delete the edited duplicate from My Layers if you no longer need it.
