Frequently Asked Question Posted 08/14/2026

Some of my script annotations, markup, or coverage lines aren't showing up on my script page, even though I know I drew them. They look like they've disappeared. Where did they go?

In most cases the annotations aren't gone — a layer is simply hidden. MovieSlate keeps your script markup on separate layers, and any layer that's turned off won't be drawn on the page.
To bring hidden markup back:

  1. Tap the Layers icon in the script toolbar.
  2. Find the layer that holds the missing markup and tap its eyeball button.
  3. Choose Show instead of Hide for that layer.

Your annotations should reappear immediately.
Important: layer visibility is set independently for the Breakdown context and the Logging context. This is intentional — it lets you hide coverage lines while viewing the PDF from the Breakdowns screen, for example, without affecting what you see while logging. So markup can look present in one context and missing in the other simply because a layer is shown in one and hidden in the other. Check the eyeball settings in whichever context the markup appears to be missing from.
If a whole project's worth of data appears to be missing rather than just some markup, that's a different situation — contact support and send a Bug Report (with Data) via Help > Contact Us so we can inspect your database.
