# How do I transfer notes across revised page packets (Collated Pages)?

**Collate Pages** brings revised page packets (blue, pink, yellow, green, etc.) into your existing draft and transfers your annotations forward in a single step — perfect when a fully collated revised script isn't available.

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

| ✅ TIP: Best practice is to transfer notes from a full draft to a full draft. If you can get a fully-collated revised draft, follow the [Note Transfer instructions](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-notes-1khpcd8/) instead.

|| 📝 NOTE: Collate Pages is an [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) feature.

Here's the common scenario. You have a script with annotations on it — let's call it **Shooting Draft**. A new page packet arrives —\*\* Blue Pages\*\* — and you need to collate the new pages and bring your annotations forward.

1. [Import](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/importing-and-opening-scripts-in-scriptation-k34r8d/) or open the **New Pages**;
2. Touch or click the **Transfer** icon on the [Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/an-overview-of-the-top-toolbar-i5y1y8/):

4. **Select the script** you want to transfer notes **from**. In this case, **Shooting Draft**:

5. The Transfer Annotations window appears, showing the cover pages of both the "from" and "to" scripts. In the Pro Transfer section, toggle **Collate Pages** on:

The other Pro Transfer options are:

* [**Compare Scripts**](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-use-compare-scripts-c6e3pc/) — Generates a scene-by-scene breakdown of script changes;
* [**Transfer Bookmarks**](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-bookmarks-to-my-new-draft-12s5493/) — Carries your Bookmarks into the new draft.

6. When your settings are made, touch or click **Next** (or **Begin**):
* **A)** Users with a *single* layer of annotations will be prompted to save the file;
* **B)** Users with *multiple* [layers](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-layers-and-how-do-i-use-them-1ozes9v/) will be taken to the Layer Selection window, with checkboxes for the layer(s) you want to transfer:

##### Creating the collated file

7. Name the new file and touch or click **Save**:

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/6/0/8/1/60818aeea8717000/transfercollatenewfilepng_ljrgne.png =300x223)

8. Select a location to save the new collated file and touch or click **Select**. If you don't specify a location, the file is saved to the **On my iPad** folder:

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/6/0/8/1/60818aeea8717000/transfercollatesavepng_6dx733.png =500x547)

9. The transfer takes a couple of seconds, and an overview of any changes between drafts is displayed:

10. If there are [Deleted Annotations](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-deleted-annotations-12eiwnm/) caused by the rewrites, you'll be prompted to view a detailed summary; touch or click **OK** to see the summary or **Not Now** to dismiss.

|| 📝 NOTE: [Auto-Highlights](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-auto-highlighting-17llf2q/) are designed to **not** transfer. Toggle them on fresh in the new draft.

| ✅ TIP: Seeing yellow note markers? Those are [Changed Annotation](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/yellow-sticky-notes-appear-after-a-transfer-changed-annotations-21n7ch/) alerts — script text that had annotations in the old draft has been adjusted in the new one.
