51 Q. I already shot and completed a scene. Months later that scene was omitted in new page revisions. Will the previously shot page, scene, and time counts in my Progress Report change to reflect the omission — and if not, can I make them? Posted 06/12/2026 Script Dept
52 Q. I copied an annotation and pasted it onto a script page, but it doesn't appear. When I tap where it should be I can see its selection outline, yet the annotation itself stays invisible. How do I fix it? Posted 06/11/2026 Script Dept
53 Q. I imported another script supervisor's lined pages into MovieSlate, but when I updated to the latest script revision her lining/markup didn't appear on the new pages. Is that normal? Posted 06/10/2026 Script Dept
54 Q. While setting up my workspace I had to enable 'Increment Slate Numbers.' What does that setting actually mean, and do I need it? Posted 06/10/2026 General
55 Q. When lining my script in Script Dept, is there a way to tell MovieSlate to automatically draw a straight line versus a squiggly (dialogue) line for a specific character? Posted 06/09/2026 Script Dept
56 Q. I shared my lined script with another user and they can't see my coverage lines, even though I can see them on my copy. How do I make my markup visible to others — and how do I change existing annotations between public and private? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept

59 Q. I drew coverage lines on my script page, but when I go back or start drawing on the next page, the lines I already drew have shifted or moved to different positions. How do I prevent this? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept
60 Q. Ever since the latest iPadOS update, the Script Dept tab keeps disappearing from MovieSlate. I've done Restore Purchases and it comes back, but it disappears again the next time I open the app. How do I fix this permanently? Posted 06/03/2026 Script Dept
