Sharing Element Labels in Studio for InDesign across users

When an Element Label is created, its settings are stored in a configuration file named ElementTags.xml.

This file can be shared with other users so that each member of the team make use of the same list of Element Labels without having to manually create the list themselves.

Sharing a list of Element Labels can be done by distributing the ElementTags.xml file from one system to another.

Step 1. Set up a list on one of the systems with Studio for InDesign installed.

Step 2. Distribute the ElementTags.xml file to the other systems. The location of the file is as follows:

• For Studio for InDesign 17 for Adobe 2022 or any higher version of Studio for InDesign and InCopy for any higher version of Adobe, and for Studio for InDesign 16.3.1 for Adobe 2021 or any version of version 16 higher than 16.3.1:
• Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\WoodWing\ElementLabel
• macOS: Users:<User_Name>:Library:Application Support:WoodWing:ElementLabel

Note: The location of this file can also bee seen in InDesign Preferences > Element Labels.

• For Studio for InDesign 16.3.0:
• <InDesign application folder>\Plug-Ins\WoodWing\
