On the Script tab, annotations let you mark up your script without changing it. Annotations sit on top of the script — they do not change the script text or your tags, and they do not use Dude Coins.
The annotation toolbar
Open a project, go to the Script tab, and use the annotation toolbar above the script page.
Select — the mode for tagging the script. Highlight a word or phrase to add a tag. See Add a tag to a tag category.
Highlight, Underline, and Strikethrough — mark words and lines. See Highlight, underline, and strike through text.
Text box — add a free-floating note anywhere on the page. See Add text boxes.
Stamp — add a label such as OMIT, ADDED, or REVISED. See Add stamps.
Shape and Draw — add rectangles and ellipses, or draw freehand. See Draw freehand and add shapes.
Image — place a reference photo anywhere on the page. See Add images to the script.
Comment — discuss a specific part of the script with your team. See Comment on the script.
Eraser — drag across marks to remove them.
Show/Hide — hide or show all annotations at once. This affects only your view; it does not delete anything.
Undo and Redo — reverse or repeat your recent changes within the current session.
Tip: Keyboard shortcuts — "V" Select, "H" Highlight, "U" Underline, "S" Strikethrough, "T" Text box, "K" Stamp, "C" Comment, "E" Eraser, "G" Image.
Edit and delete annotations
To work with an annotation, click it. You do not need to switch tools first. Drag it to move it, drag a handle to resize it, or select the trash icon to delete it. You can also select an annotation and press Del to remove it immediately, without confirmation. To clear several freehand marks quickly, use the Eraser.
Layers
Annotations are grouped into layers you can show or hide, so you can keep separate sets of notes on the same script. A layer can be private to you or shared with your team. See Organize annotations into layers.
Annotations in exports
Annotations are not included in an exported script by default. To keep them, select Include annotations in the Export dropdown before you export. Comments are controlled separately by Include comments. Both options apply to PDF exports only.
Only annotations on visible layers are exported — if a layer is hidden, its annotations do not appear in the file. See Export script to PDF.
Plans
Annotation tools are available on all plans, including Free. Team layers — any layer that is not marked Private — require Team Access. You can add comments on any plan; seeing your teammates' comments requires Team Access.
