Articles on: Transferring Notes

What are Deleted Annotations?

When you transfer your notes to a new draft, any annotations whose underlying script text was cut in the rewrite become Deleted Annotations — and you can review them any time from the three-dot menu (⋯).

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:

Toggle back to the previous draft;
Copy the annotations you need;
Switch back to the new draft and paste them in.

📝 NOTE: After a Note Transfer, you may also have Changed Annotations — 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, open the list again from Deleted Annotations in the three-dot menu (⋯):

✅ TIP: Industry Pro users may also want to use Compare Scripts alongside Note Transfer. It compares your two drafts and generates a scene-by-scene breakdown of every text change.
