How do I share Tagging customizations with other devices?

To share your Tagging categories and colors, export them as a Tagging Customization file (.scf) from Settings → Tagging, then open that file in Scriptation on your other device — or send it to a teammate.


✅ 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


  1. 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);
  2. Tap Export Tagging customizations;
