How do I share my lining layer with a collaborator?

To share your lining with another script supervisor, tap the three-dot menu (⋯) → Export Lining → Layer File, choose the scenes, then send the Scriptation Layer file (.slf). Your collaborator imports it into their own copy of the script.

📝 NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.

📝 NOTE: Lining Tools is an Industry Pro feature.

Export Lining as a Layer file

Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top right;
Tap Export Lining, then tap Layer File:

📝 NOTE: On Scriptation 5.1.16 or earlier, tap the Lining icon on the Top Toolbar, then tap ... at the top of the window and select Share Lining.

Check the scenes you want to share, then tap OK. Only scenes with lines generated by the Lining toolkit can be selected:

The thumbnail view checks the script pages for those scenes, plus the added pages before, within, and after them. Tap the black circles to change which added pages are included, then tap Share. The scenes you chose decide which slates are shared — every slate for those scenes, across all Lining Layers, even though the thumbnails show only the active Lining Layer:

Choose how to send the .slf file — Mail, Gmail, AirDrop, or any messaging app that supports attachments.

The recipient can then import the file into their own copy of the script.

A Layer File includes only the tramlines and annotations on Lining Layers (Lining, Lining 2, etc.):
