 ## Adding Scripts for Skim

-To add an Applescript to the menu, put it in `Library/Scripts/Applications/Skim/`, either in your home folder or on your computer (if you want the script to be available for all users). You may have to create those directories if they do not exist. The scripts appear in the Scripts on the right side of the menu bar whenever Skim is the active application. You may have to enable the Scripts menu in the Script Editor preferences. You can also add AppleScripts to Skim's [Script Menu](Tips_and_Tricks#Script_Menu). See [Example Scripts](AppleScript#Example_Scripts) for some scripts you could add there.
