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

To share a script with just one Layer's notes, export that Layer as a Scriptation Layer File (.slf) for collaborators who use Scriptation, or use Export Layers → PDF to create a PDF with only the Layers you choose.


⚠️ HEADS UP: Quick Export includes every Layer in the file, even hidden Layers and Info Layers that are toggled off. Hiding a Layer only changes what you see on screen. To leave Layers out, use Export Layers → PDF as described below.


For collaborators who use Scriptation


If the recipient has the same script file, export the Layer as a Scriptation Layer File (.slf). They can then import the Layer into their own script and see your notes alongside theirs.


📝 NOTE: Layer Files only include annotations on Native script pages. Annotations on added pages, Facing Pages, or copied/pasted pages aren't shared, because added pages are personal to each user.


For everyone else: export a PDF with selected Layers


Open Export Layers from the menu


  1. Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top-right of the Top Toolbar;
  2. Under Share Document, tap Export Layers;
  3. Choose PDF.



Or open it from the Layers sidebar


  1. Tap the Layers icon on the Top Toolbar;



  1. Tap the Export icon at the upper left;



  1. Choose Export PDF.



Choose your Layers and share


  1. Select the Layer(s) to include, then tap Share;



  1. The Share sheet opens. Send the PDF via AirDrop, Mail, Gmail, or any other app that accepts files.



📝 NOTE: Info Layers (like Large Scene Numbers or 8th Page Counts) aren't in the Export PDF list, so they're left out automatically. To include one, duplicate it first so it becomes a regular Layer you can select.
