Importing and Exporting Tags

You can Import Tags from a text file, or Export Tags to a text file, allowing you to quickly copy tag structures between databases without having to create them manually.  

Note

Tags and tag folders do not support Unicode characters or high-end ASCII characters.  Only ASCII (values 032-126) characters are allowed. If a tag name or tag folder name contains an invalid character, you are prompted to make corrections.

When creating a tag file for importing, each line represents a tag, with an associated folder if applicable.  Separate tags from their associated folder with >>.
