How do I change category colors for Tagging?

Scriptation lets you change the color of any Tagging category — industry-standard or custom — and will help keep your color selections in sync with the tags already in your script.

📝 NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.

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

Opening Tagging Customization

Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top-right of the screen;
Select Settings and go to the Tagging tab.

Changing a Category Color

You don't need to enter Edit mode to recolor a category.

Tap the color dot to the left of any category name;

Choose a new color. Once you pick a color, every item tagged in that category will be highlighted in that color.

✅ TIP: The multi-colored dot opens a custom color picker — choose from a grid, color wheel, or numeric RGB / HSB sliders.

Syncing Existing Tags to the New Color

If you've already tagged items in your script and you change that category's color, you'll see a Tagging Sync prompt asking whether to update the existing tags to match.

Yes — updates the color of all existing tags in that category to match your new color;
No — leaves the existing tags in their old color. A warning icon appears in your Tagging customization view until the colors are back in sync.

For more on the prompt and other situations where it appears, see Tagging Sync? What does it mean to update your tag colors?.
