Q. When I draw on my script with the Apple Pencil, my lines streak or lag behind the pencil — especially while we're rolling. My colleague's iPad on the same show doesn't do it. What's going on?

Q. 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?

Q. My script coverage lines (tramlines) suddenly became locked — I didn't lock them myself — and now I can't select, move, or edit them. How do I unlock them so I can manipulate them again?

Q. My backup won't complete. I've deleted some old notes from past shows, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. How do I get my backup to finish?

Q. The day we just shot was a pre-shoot day (Day 0), but MovieSlate's Notes and History keep defaulting to Day 1. Is there a way to label a shoot as Day 0? And if I've already logged takes as Day 1, can I change them to Day 0 after the fact?

Q. When I type a long shot description in History (the Frame A and Frame B fields), the text keeps shrinking until it's too small to read. Is there a way to keep it full-size or pop open a bigger editor?

Q. When I tap the circle to mark a take, the numbered bubble lands all the way over at the far right edge of my script page. How do I control where it shows up?
