# How do I transfer Live Layers?

When you transfer notes to a new draft, the Live Layers Group on the old draft doesn't carry over — it has to be re-established on the new one. Here's how to move Live Layers to new drafts. 

|| 📝 NOTE: [Live Layers](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-live-layers-and-how-do-i-get-set-up-1fowibn/) is available on [Scriptation Team](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-team-4bxf8z/) and Enterprise licenses.

### Step-by-step

1. **Run a** [**Note Transfer**](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-notes-1khpcd8/) **as you normally would.** In the Annotation Selection menu, transfer only your **Owned** and **Private** layers. Leave any **Received** layers behind — your collaborators will re-share them on the new draft.

| ✅ TIP: Not sure which layers are Private, Owned, or Received? Learn about [the three Layer types](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-live-layers-and-how-do-i-get-set-up-1fowibn/).

2. **On the new draft, toggle on Live Layers and** [**create or join a Group**](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-live-layers-and-how-do-i-get-set-up-1fowibn/)**.** Same flow as the original — everyone on the team needs to land in the same Group for layers to sync.

3. **Share each Owned layer to the new Group.** Use the [layer share icon](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-live-layers-and-how-do-i-get-set-up-1fowibn/) on each layer. Once each team member does the same, Received layers populate automatically for everyone.

| 💡 TIP: Turn on [Auto Live Layers](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-auto-live-layers-1q25isw/) to skip step 2 — Scriptation will auto-join (or create) the public Live Layers group for the new draft.

||| ⚠️ HEADS UP: Live Layers only syncs annotations on **Native** script pages — the original imported pages of your script. Annotations on added pages (like [Facing Pages](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-facing-pages-and-how-do-i-add-them-1qh8gjs/), copy-pasted pages, or any pages added via [the Page Manager](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-the-page-manager-k7edhm/)) **won't transfer through Live Layers**. This is by design — added pages are personalized per user, so syncing them between teammates would create confusion. Want to share those notes too?
