I have tags that are overlapping… Help!

If you want to tag a word or phrase with multiple categories, the best method is to use layers — otherwise, the tags will overlap. Scriptation lets you assign multiple categories to the same script text, but a few set-up steps keep your categories clear and all tags editable.

📝 NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.

Setting Up Your Script to Tag Across Multiple Categories

First, customize and add any additional categories you need;

Add a new layer for each category you want to separate;

✅ TIP: For maximum flexibility, create a new layer for each category you plan to use in the document.

Make sure you have the correct layer selected as active (indicated by the pencil next to the layer name) and begin tagging in that corresponding category;

✅ TIP: If you already have tagged annotations in your document, you can quickly move those annotations to a different layer with just a few taps.

Repeat for each layer and the corresponding category;

You can now fully customize tag visibility by showing or hiding the category layers. To edit a tag, go to that category's layer, tap to make it active, then tap on the tag to edit.

✅ TIP: You can also change the opacity of any background layers that are toggled on but not active.
