# How do I change the Auto-Highlight color presets?

|| 📝 NOTE: This video shows an older user interface and some of the exact steps may have changed.

${frame}[Auto Highlight Color Presets](https://www.loom.com/embed/a509f897cc9b4aae837c0af858268b28)

[Auto-Highlight](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-auto-highlighting-17llf2q/) gives you 16 color presets that get matched to characters in order when you tap **All On**. You can customize every preset to use any color you'd like — pick from a grid, color wheel, RGB/HSB sliders, or paste in a HEX code.

|| 📝 NOTE: Color Presets is part of [Scriptation Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/).

### Editing Color Presets

1. Tap the **Highlight** icon on the [Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/an-overview-of-the-top-toolbar-i5y1y8/) to open the Auto-Highlight sidebar;

| ✅ TIP: If the **Highlight** icon isn't showing in the Top Toolbar, touch or click the plus sign on the right side to show additional icons. To pin it permanently, see [Customizing the Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/more-icons-and-customizing-the-top-toolbar-v1u97a/).

2. Tap the **three-dot menu** (**⋯**) at the top-right of the sidebar and choose **Color Presets**;

3. All 16 Presets appear with their currently-assigned colors. Tap any **color dot** to open the color picker — choose from the grid, color wheel, or RGB/HSB sliders/HEX code. After making your selection, tap outside the window to save the change.

### Working with Color Presets Across Devices

Color Presets apply to all files on the device they're set up on, but aren't automatically synced between iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

| ✅ TIP: To share your preset palette with another device, copy the HEX code from each color preset window into a Text Box on a script page, then [share that file](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-to-share-notes-or-email-a-file-181353n/) to your other devices. Use the HEX codes to recreate the same preset palette on the new device.
