Generally, quality trumps all"
How to Copy/Paste the JSON
The manual way is almost the same as the Import Custom Format way found HERE{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
In Sonarr
Settings => Custom Formats
Open the Custom Format you want to update
Paste the Custom Format
In the empty Custom Format JSON box (1) you just paste the JSON that you got from the Custom Format Collection{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} or provided to you from other sources followed by the Import button (2).
Save the Custom Format
After selecting the Import button you will get a screen that has all the Custom Format variables filled in correctly, all you need to do now is click on the Save button and you're done.
!!! warning "The Import to update existing Custom Formats replaces the existing Custom Format, so all manual changes you did to it will be lost ⚠️"
Guide sync tool
!!! info "You can also use a Guide sync tool{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} to sync the Custom Formats or even the complete quality profile(s)."
