What are Saved Annotations and how do I use them?

NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.

Saved Annotations is a powerful Industry Pro feature for saving custom stamps, drawings, markings, shapes, text notes, and images/photos for easy re-use. Any type of annotation can be saved.

In this example, the handwritten note "Steadicam" is to be used numerous times.

After creating the note, touch **or **click **it, then choose **Save to create a Saved Annotation.

This process works the same on any drawing, shape, text note, or inserted image / photo.

After it's been saved, the Saved Annotations can be found by touching or clicking the Clipboard icon on the Annotation bar.

TIP: If the Clipboard icon isn't visible, touch / click and hold the Stamp icon (when it's not active) to display the Clipboard.

While in the Saved Annotations window you have three options:

Touch or click the Annotation to insert it into the current page;
**Paste **an annotation that's been copied from this or another Scriptation document;
Edit to delete a annotations you no longer need.

NOTE: Saved Annotations are only available on the device on which they've been saved -- here's a workaround to sync them across devices.
