Time for action - adding embedded notes to a script


Carry out the following steps:

  1. 1. Move the mouse cursor to the place in the script where an embeddable note is to be added, and click.

  2. 2. Move the cursor up to the three tabs (Notes, Media, and Breakdown) in the right sidebar of the screen. A flashing vertical line remains at the place where the note is to be inserted.

  3. 3. Click on the Notes tab, then click on + Add Note. A yellow "sticky note" appears. As other embeddable notes are added, there will be additional yellow notes in the box.

  4. 4. Type in the text content for the note. The notes are of a fixed size but you can add more text than shows with a scroll bar automatically appearing, so that the entire note can easily be read.

What just happened?

The small note icon shown in the preceding figure will also be in place now. Embedded notes are retrieved either by double-clicking on the small icon in the script, or by clicking on the Notes button at the top of the right sidebar of the screen.
