How do I share Tagging customizations with other devices?

Multiple users collaborating on tagging a script can easily send custom tagging category sets to other users — sync your categories and colors across your own devices, or share them with teammates.

✅ TIP: Tagging Customizations are a per-device setting, so any shared or imported Customizations will be used on all scripts on that device until the settings are updated again.

Exporting Your Tagging Customizations

In Scriptation 6.0 and later

Open the Tagging tab in Settings — either tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top-right and select Settings → Tagging, or enter Tagging Mode and tap Customize (both paths open the same Settings modal);
Tap Export Tagging customizations;

Tap Yes on the prompt;

Choose a way to send the Scriptation Tagging Customization file (.scf) via AirDrop, Mail, Google Drive, Gmail, or another method that can transfer files.

In Scriptation 5.1.16 and earlier

Touch or click the Tagging icon;

Touch or click the Customize icon;

Touch or click the Export icon at the upper left of the Customize side panel;

Choose a way to send the Scriptation Tagging Customization file (.scf) via AirDrop, Mail, Google Drive, Gmail, or another method that can transfer files.

Importing on iPad / iPhone

When you receive a Tagging Customization file, tap the attached .scf file. If it doesn't automatically open in Scriptation, open it, tap the Share icon and choose Scriptation.
