What are Saved Annotations and how do I use them?

📝 NOTE: Saved Annotations is an Industry Pro feature.

Saved Annotations let you store custom stamps, drawings, markings, shapes, text notes, and images for easy re-use across every script. Any annotation type can be saved.

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

In this example, the handwritten note "Steadicam" will be used many times. After creating the note, touch or click it, then choose Save to create a Saved Annotation. This works the same way on any drawing, shape, text note, or inserted image.

Once saved, find your Saved Annotations by touching or clicking the Clipboard icon on the Annotation Toolbar.

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

In the Saved Annotations window you have three options:

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

📝 NOTE: Saved Annotations are stored only on the device where they're created — here's a workaround to sync them across devices.
