How do I keep only my character's scenes from a large script?

Scriptation doesn't currently have a way to automatically extract only the scenes where a specific character appears into a separate script, but you can get close with a manual workflow:

Use Auto-Highlight to automatically highlight all of your character's dialogue throughout the script.
Open the Page Manager and select the Sides icon.
Select all pages that include your character's highlighted scenes.
Select Make Sides to export a new PDF containing only those selected pages. This opens your new Sides PDF in a new tab, which you can also use in Playback Mode.
When entering Playback Mode on the new Sides PDF, you'll be prompted to Lock Sides — select Yes to lock them.

See How do I create script sides? for more detail on the Sides workflow. This process is manual, but it lets you collect all of a character's material into a single PDF and leave the rest out.
