# What is the Page Manager?

**The Page Manager** is Scriptation's birds-eye-view tool for working with the pages of your script — adding, moving, copying, deleting, and rearranging them. It's where you go for Facing Pages, Sides, Storyboards, and any other page-level operation.

|| 📝 NOTE: The Page Manager is an [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) feature.

### Opening the Page Manager

Tap the **Page Manager icon (the four-square grid)** on the Top Toolbar:

| ✅ TIP: If the **Page Manager** icon isn't showing in the Top Toolbar, touch or click the plus sign on the right side to show additional icons. To pin it permanently, see [Customizing the Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/more-icons-and-customizing-the-top-toolbar-v1u97a/).

The Page Manager shows your script as a grid of page thumbnails — a "birds-eye view" of your document. From here you can:

* **Add** new pages — blanks, images, custom PDFs, storyboard templates, and more;
* **Select** pages to copy, paste, or delete;
* **Move** added pages with drag-and-drop;
* **Make Sides** from any selection of pages.

### Native vs. Inserted pages

A quick concept to know before working in the Page Manager — Scriptation handles two kinds of pages:

* **Native** — the official script pages from the imported PDF, in their imported order. Native pages can't be reordered or deleted under normal circumstances because [Note Transfer](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-notes-1khpcd8/) relies on them staying in sequence.
* **Inserted** (also called *Added*) — pages you've added in the Page Manager, such as Facing Pages, Storyboards, Set Plans, or copy/pasted pages. These can be moved, reordered, and deleted freely.

Added pages display with a **black circle in the upper-left corner** of their thumbnail in the Page Manager.

||| ⚠️ HEADS UP: When you're done in the Page Manager, tap **Save** before returning to Annotate mode. Unsaved changes will be lost.
