Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/16/2026

The Sound tab vanished from the bottom of MovieSlate mid-shoot, and the Sound Dept plugin now shows as available for purchase again in the in-app Store. I can no longer log takes or send a Sound Report. How do I get it back without paying a second time?

Don't repurchase — this is almost always a temporary purchase-receipt hiccup, not a lost purchase. Your Sound Dept plugin is still tied to your Apple ID, and a quick Restore Purchases brings the Sound tab and all Sound Report functionality back.
To restore:

  1. Make sure the iPad is signed into the same Apple ID that originally bought the Sound Dept plugin (check iOS Settings at the top).
  2. In MovieSlate, tap Settings > MovieSlate Store.
  3. In the Restore Purchases section at the top, tap the blue Restore button.
  4. Apple's receipt servers re-enable the purchase, and the Sound tab should reappear along the bottom of the app.

If the tab still doesn't return, restart the iPad and try the Restore again. Should that fail, send us a diagnostic from Help > Contact Us > Bug Report (with Data) and we'll help track it down — you will not need to buy the plugin again.
