- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.
