# What are Deleted Annotations?

When you [transfer your notes](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-notes-1khpcd8/) to a new draft, any annotations whose underlying script text was cut in the rewrite become **Deleted Annotations** — and a new option appears in your Top Toolbar menu so you can review them at any time.

### Where you first see Deleted Annotations

After completing the Note Transfer, a pop-up shows how many **Imported**, **Changed**, and **Deleted Annotations** you have as a result of the transfer.

Tap **OK** to view a detailed summary of your Deleted Annotations. The summary is organized by page and provides a view-only overview of what was deleted.

### Retrieving Deleted Annotations

To bring back any Deleted Annotations you want to keep:

1. Toggle back to the **previous draft**;
2. [Copy](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-to-copy-and-paste-annotations-loyn3h/) the annotations you need;
3. Switch back to the new draft and paste them in.

|| 📝 NOTE: After a Note Transfer, you may also have [Changed Annotations](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/yellow-sticky-notes-appear-after-a-transfer-changed-annotations-21n7ch/) — small yellow stickies in the right margin that flag script text where annotations existed in the old draft and the surrounding text changed in the new one.

### Finding Deleted Annotations later

Once you've closed the post-transfer summary, the **Deleted Annotations** option stays in your Top Toolbar menu so you can revisit the list any time:

| ✅ TIP: [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) users may also want to use [Compare Scripts](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-use-compare-scripts-c6e3pc/) alongside Note Transfer. It compares your two drafts and generates a scene-by-scene breakdown of every text change.
