Can I hide categories I don't use in Tagging?

Yes! You can hide any Tagging category — default or custom — without deleting it. Hidden categories disappear from the Category Picker in your tagging toolbar but stay in your customization for whenever you want them back.

📝 NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.

📝 NOTE: Tagging customizations are stored per device. To use the same set of hidden and visible categories on multiple devices, see How do I share Tagging Customizations with other devices?.

✅ TIP: Hiding is the right choice if your production only uses a handful of categories. You can hide every category you won't be tagging — including default ones — and keep your Category Picker focused on just what your team needs.

Hiding a Category

With your script open, enter Tagging Mode from the Top Toolbar, then tap Customize.

Tap Edit at the top-right of the category list;

Tap the blue dot to the left of any category you want to hide. The category moves into the Hidden section at the bottom of the list;

Repeat for as many categories as you'd like to hide;
Tap OK at the top-right when you're done.

Hidden categories no longer appear in the Category Picker when you tag in Tagging Mode. They stay in your customization, ready to bring back whenever you need them.

Bringing a Hidden Category Back

Open the Customize panel using the steps above;
Tap Edit at the top-right;
Scroll to the Hidden section at the bottom of the list;
Tap the green dot next to the category you want to bring back — it moves back to the Visible section;
Tap OK when you're done.

Hide vs. Delete

Both Hide and Delete remove a category from the Category Picker, but they're not the same:

Hide — fully reversible. Works on every category, default or custom. The category stays in your customization; you can bring it back any time;
Delete — permanent. Only works on custom categories you've added (you can't delete default categories). For the delete walkthrough, see Can I add my own categories in Tagging?.

If you're trying to clean up your Category Picker, Hide is almost always the right choice — it's reversible and works on everything.
