What is the Tag Import Tool?
The Tag Import Tool enables you to copy the tags on content from one Channel to content in another Channel, based on filename.
More specifically, for each piece of content in the Source Channel the tool will:
- Look for content in the current channel with the same name
- Apply all tags from the matching piece of content in the Source Channel to the content in the current Channel.

Other Notes on the Tag Import Tool
- Existing tags will not be removed from the content in either Channel during this process. If you wish to remove tags, we recommend using Tag IO.
- What happens if there are duplicates in either Channel?
- Tags from the matching file(s) in the Source Channel, will be applied to all corresponding files in the receiving Channel.
