How do I set an ID code on a Godox X1R receiver?

I understand that Godox ID codes add an extra digital filter on top of the radio channel so nearby users on the same channel don’t trigger my lights. I know how to set an ID on the transmitter through its custom functions, but the X1R receiver doesn’t seem to have that menu. Can the X1R use ID codes, and if so, how do I check compatibility and set the ID?

Yes, it can do ID codes. And how to turn it on was not updated in the user manual, so it's kind of hidden. It's in the revision history PDFs packaged with the firmware updates since this was a feature that was added via firmware.
First, hold down the GR button while turning on the X1R to see what firmware version is loaded. For ID codes the versions you need are:
- X1R-C: v18 or later
- X1R-N: v21 or later
- X1R-S: v05 or later
If it's on an earlier version, update the firmware.
If your X1R can do ID codes, to set the ID:
- Hold down the GR and CH buttons while turning on the unit.
- Use the CH (up) and GR (down) buttons to set the ID value you want to use.
- Wait 5 seconds. Then turn off the unit.
When you turn it back on, the ID is set.

Yes. The Godox X1R can use ID codes, but support depends on firmware version because it was added later and may not be described in older manuals.
To check firmware, hold GR while powering on the X1R.
Minimum firmware versions for ID support:
- X1R-C: v18 or later
- X1R-N: v21 or later
- X1R-S: v05 or later
If your receiver is older than that, update the firmware first.
To set the ID code:
- Turn the unit off.
- Hold GR + CH while turning it on.
- Use CH to increase and GR to decrease the ID value.
- Wait about 5 seconds.
- Turn the unit off.
- Turn it back on normally.
The ID is then stored. Make sure your transmitter and receiver are set to the same radio channel and the same ID code, or they won’t communicate.
