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.

Setting Up Your Script to Tag Across Multiple Categories

1. Add a new layer for each category you want to keep separate;
2. Select the layer for a category to make it active (a pencil appears next to its name), then tag in that category;
3. Repeat for each layer and its category;
4. Show or hide the category layers to control which tags you see. To edit a tag, make its layer active, then tap the tag.

Already tagged everything on one layer? Move those annotations to a different layer. You can also lower the opacity of background layers that are visible but not active.
