Search

The search bar at the top of the screen provides you with three different ways to search through your project. You can toggle through these options using the dropdown menu on the right side of the navigation bar. 

Your first option is searching Cues. This will search both the individual cue titles (often listed as cue numbers) and any information you have included in the label. The second option is searching Text. This will search for any text notes that have been added to the project. In both cases, your search will include every layer in the project, regardless of whether you have edit permissions or have hidden the layer from view. So, your results may turn up entries that are not immediately visible in your project without changing your viewing preferences. Clicking on any search result will immediately take you to that page of your PDF.

The third option allows you to search the Script or text of your uploaded PDF. This search only works if your PDF is formatted in such a way as to include OCR (optical character recognition). Optical character recognition is usually included in any document initially developed by a word processing program and saved as a PDF. Scanned images or PDFs made from a photocopier will rarely have OCR built into the document, and thus, you may find that they do not provide any Script search results unless you are able to run them through a separate OCR program. In a similar fashion to both Cue and Text searches, you may click on any result to jump to jump to that page of your project immediately.

Bookmarks

You can bookmark any page of your project by clicking on the bookmark icon in the upper right-hand corner of the PDF. Clicking again on the icon at any point will remove the bookmark.

After you click on the icon, the bookmark menu will open on the left side of your screen. While new bookmarks will initially be labeled with their page number, you can edit and customize those labels by double-clicking on the text. Clicking once on a bookmark label will take you to that PDF page in your project.

The bookmarks in your project are user-specific and will not automatically be shared with your collaborators. However, if you click on the Import Bookmarks button at the top of the bookmark menu, you will be given the option to merge any other collaborator’s bookmarks with your own. In the instances where both you and your collaborator have bookmarks set on the same page, this option will overwrite your existing bookmark label with that of your collaborator. You cannot undo this merge, so proceed with caution.

Dark Mode

Please note the toggle switch labeled Dark Mode in the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen. You can flip this anytime you would like to put Cuelist in a low-light-friendly color scheme.
