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.
Opening the Page Manager
Tap the Page Manager icon (the four-square grid) on the Top Toolbar:
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. Added 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 relies on them staying in sequence.
- 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.
