Using markers

Markers help you organize a composition like bookmarks or headers for your transcript. They're also handy for quick navigation because you can instantly jump between them using the Action bar.

Adding a marker

  1. Click in your script where you want to add a marker.
  2. Press M or # while either script tool is not enabled or use the Action bar and search for Insert marker.

On a blank line, you can also add a speaker label by selecting ... > Add speaker label

Moving markers

If you need to adjust the position of a marker, hover your mouse over the marker and you will see a grabber icon appear to the left. Click the grabber icon, then move it to the desired drop location. As you do so, you will see words in the script become highlighted in grey. Dropping the marker at that location will place the marker before the highlighted word.

Deleting markers

To delete a marker, highlight the marker in your script and press the delete key.
