Insert a new action

Select an action from the dropdown menu and click Add.

Delete an action

Right-click the action and choose Delete action, or double-click its red Delete symbol, .

Reorder actions

Click the action you want to move and drag it onto the action you want it to come after.

Now available for repair scripts as well.

Duplicate an action

Right-click the action, then select Copy action. (Repair only)

Execute an individual action in a script

Double-click its green checkmark, . Unlike running the entire script, this runs the action without clearing any existing support.

Export an action in its current configuration

Right-click the action, then choose Export action. Specify a name and location for the export file, then click Save.

Import an action

Right-click anywhere in the Support scripts view and choose Import action. Then navigate to and select the SUPPORT file and click Open. (Repair only)

Disable/enable an action

Right-click an action and choose Disable action or Enable action, respectively.

This function is useful to compare the effect of similar support actions but with a number of distinct differences that would otherwise be a great hassle to switch forth and back. The state of being enabled or disabled is also maintained during export and import.

Rename an action

Expand the action and click on the text field next to Description. Type the new name, then hit Enter or click somewhere else.

While the action itself cannot be renamed, this adds a descriptive text next to its name that remains visible even when you collapse the action's node in the script tree.
