Not everything in a prompt copy is a cue. Notes, cuts and corrections live on their own layers, so you can show or hide them without touching your cues.

Adding a note

Tap the Notes pill at the top of the page.
Click where you want the note and type.
Drag the handle on its side to make it wider or narrower.

The tag icon links a note to a piece of text. Tap it, then select the words. They're highlighted with a line to the note, and when you import a new version of the script the note follows those words to wherever they end up.

A typed note, Prop Breakage, linked to the words opens a letter, with its resize handle in the corner

Handwritten notes (iPad)

Tap a notes layer's pill.
Tap the pencil icon in the toolbar.
Write with Apple Pencil.

Tap with two fingers to undo and three to redo. Handwriting syncs to your other devices and prints with the PDF.

For marking with the Pencil and scrolling with your finger, see Apple Pencil Mode.

iPad: the Notes pill selected and the pencil button on at the top right, with ink underlining and highlighting the script

Handwritten notes on the script page: Beat, and (Quick flip) at the foot of the page

Cuts, highlights and corrections

Rehearsals change the text. The Markup layer keeps up with them.

Tap the Markup pill.
Choose a tool: Cut Text, Highlight or Correction.
Select the words.

A correction lets you type the new words over the old ones. To undo a mark, select the same words again with the same tool. Highlights use the layer's colour, which you can change in Script Settings.

One line with a cut (The), a highlight (Prince) and a correction typing Easter over the old words

Keeping notes private

On a shared script, every layer is shared unless you say otherwise. Turn on Keep this layer private to me in a notes layer's Settings and only you will see it. See Sharing Scripts.
