To bring notes from Sides back into a master script, put the Sides pages back in script order, lock the Sides file, then run a Note Transfer from the master script with the Sides file as the previous draft. Repeat for each Sides file.

1. Reorder and lock the Sides file. Open the Page Manager, tap Edit → Unlock, drag pages back into script order, then tap Lock → Save. For the full walkthrough, see How do I lock or unlock a Sides file?. If you don't see Unlock or Lock, use Master Edit Mode to reorder the pages and mark them as Native;
2. Open your master script and start a Note Transfer. When prompted to select the previous draft, choose your Sides file, then tap the blue box. If you see "No Native Pages Detected," the Sides pages aren't marked Native yet — go back to step 1;

3. After the transfer, find your Sides notes in the Layers menu. To see every layer at once, tap the ⋯ icon and tap Show All:

4. Repeat for each Sides file. When you're done, you can merge the layers into one.
