Articles on: Transferring Notes

How does Scriptation handle A Pages and Deleted Pages?

Yes. When you receive your new draft and transfer your notes, Scriptation recognizes properly formatted A and B pages and brings your annotations forward.

If there are deleted pages and the script content has been absorbed onto adjoining pages, those annotations transfer as well.

If content was deleted entirely, you'll likely have some Deleted Annotations. After the transfer completes, the overview box shows how many Imported, Changed, and Deleted Annotations you have.

📝 NOTE: You may also have a few Changed Annotations — small yellow stickies in the right margin that let you know previously annotated text has changed in the new draft.

After reviewing the overview, tap OK to view a detailed summary of your Deleted Annotations.

To retrieve any Deleted Annotations, toggle back to the previous draft and copy/paste the annotations into the new draft.

Once you've closed the summary, the Deleted Annotations icon stays on your Top Toolbar menu so you can revisit the list any time:

✅ TIP: Industry Pro users may also want to toggle on Compare Scripts during the transfer. It compares your two drafts and generates a scene-by-scene breakdown of all the text that's been added, deleted, and changed.
