# How do I remove Tagging data from my Sides?

When you create sides from a script that has Tagging data, the tagging annotations will carry over into the new sides file — even if the Tagging layer was hidden in the original script. Because the sides file only has one layer, you won't be able to toggle it off right away.

**Thankfully, there's a quick workaround to remove the tagging data from your sides.**

|| 📝 NOTE: [Tagging](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-use-tagging-9lma1q/) and [Sides](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-to-create-script-sides-in-scriptation-1rfarbu/) are [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) features.

### How to Remove the Tagging Layer from Sides

1. Open your sides file;
2. Touch or click the **Layers** icon in the Top Toolbar;
3. Touch or click **Add Layer** to create a new blank layer — you can name it anything;
4. **Select** the new layer so it becomes your active layer;
5. Touch or click the **three-dot menu** (**⋯**) in the Layers panel, then select **Edit**;
6. **Delete** the original layer that contains the tagging data;
7. Touch or click **Done**.

And that's all there is to it! Your sides will now be completely clean, with just the blank layer ready for your annotations.

| 💡 TIP: This workaround works because the Sides tool carries over all layer data from the original script, regardless of whether the layer is visible. Creating a second layer lets you switch your active layer and then delete the one with tagging.
