How to Copy and Paste Annotations
Copying and pasting annotations can be helpful with:
- Duplicating an annotation (or consider making it a Saved Annotation);
- Retrieving deleted annotations after a Note Transfer;
- Moving annotations across layers and pages.
Start by touching or clicking the annotation you'd like to copy.
From the pop-up menu, choose Copy; the pop-up will then disappear:
Next, navigate to the location you'd like to paste the annotation. It can be on a different page or in a different Scriptation file. Touch or click, **then **hold anywhere on the screen. Another pop-up menu is displayed; select Paste:

The annotation will be pasted in and you'll be presented with additional options. NOTE that you'll see different options depending on the annotation type.
