How do I export / share my script with just one layer?

There are two ways to share a script with only one layer's notes — the right choice depends on whether your collaborator is also using Scriptation.


For collaborators who use Scriptation (to share notes on Native pages only)


If the recipient is working with the same script file as you, you can export the Layer as a Scriptation Layer File (.slf). The recipient can then easily import the Layer into their own script and view your notes alongside theirs.


📝 NOTE: When a Layer is shared as an SLF file, only annotations on Native script pages are shared. Annotations on Added Pages, Facing Pages, or Copied/Pasted Pages are not. This restriction allows for the successful sharing of Layers between teams working on the same script, as added pages are personalized to each individual user.


For all other collaborators (to share notes on all pages)


You can start the PDF export from the Menu in the Top Toolbar (added in Scriptation 6.0) or from the Layers sidebar — both paths reach the same export options.


Method 1: From the Top Toolbar Menu (Scriptation 6.0)


  1. Touch or click the Menu icon (the three-dot icon) in the top-right corner of the Top Toolbar;
  2. Under the Share Document section, touch or click Export Layers;
  3. From the submenu, choose PDF (Create a new document).




Method 2: From the Layers Sidebar


  1. In the Top Toolbar, touch or click the Layers icon to display the Layers menu;



  1. Touch or click the Export icon at the upper left;



  1. Choose Export PDF.



Choose your layer and share


Once you've opened the export options, the steps are the same for both methods:


  1. Select the layer(s) you'd like to include in the export, then touch or click Share:



  1. A standard Share window will open — from here you can export the file via AirDrop, Mail, Gmail, or any other method that supports file transfer:



✅ TIP: Need to share all of your notes instead? Share the file as a full PDF.
