Script Notes

Attach annotations, reminders, and reference material to your screenplay.

Opening Script Notes

Open the Script Notes panel from View > Script Notes. Notes appear in a panel alongside the editor.

Creating a Note

1. Select the text in your screenplay that you want to annotate.
2. In the Script Notes panel, click + New Note.
3. Type your note text.
4. The note is anchored to the selected text — it stays connected even as you edit the script around it.

Note Colors

Notes are color-coded to help you organize different types of annotations:

Color	Suggested Use
● Yellow	General reminders and to-dos
● Red	Issues or problems to fix
● Blue	Research notes or references
● Green	Approved or completed notes
● Orange	Feedback from collaborators
● Purple	Creative ideas or alternatives

Click the color indicator on a note to change its color.

Embedding Media

Script notes can include more than just text. You can embed:

• Images — Reference photos, mood boards, location scouting images.
• Videos — Paste YouTube or Vimeo URLs for reference clips.
• Asset references — Use the @AssetName syntax to link to assets in your project's Asset Manager.

Filtering Notes

When you have many notes, use the filter options to narrow down what you see:

• By color — Show only notes of a specific color (e.g., just the "red" issues).
• By element type — Show only notes attached to specific element types (e.g., just notes on dialogue).
• By scene context — Show notes for the current scene or a specific scene.

Note Visibility

Toggle note highlighting in the editor via View > Note Highlights. When enabled, annotated text is highlighted with the note's color. When disabled, the text looks normal but notes are still accessible from the panel.
