# How Do I Assign and Manage Tags?

## Overview

Tags are customizable labels for products.  
You can centrally manage tags under **Platform Settings > Edit Tags**. Here, you can create new tags, assign products to existing tags, remove assignments, and manage tag names in one place.

## Accessing the Function

Open **Platform Settings** and go to **Edit Tags**.  
There you can create new tags and see a list of all existing tags along with their product assignments.

## Features

- **Create a new tag (optionally with products)**  
  In the **Create New Tag** section, enter a name in the **Tag Name** field. Optionally, select products in the **Products** field to immediately assign them to the tag. Click **Create Tag** to save everything in one step.
- **Assign products to an existing tag**  
  Expand the desired tag from the list. In the **Add Products to This Tag** section, search for and select products, then confirm with **Add to Tag**. Products already linked to the tag will not be added twice.
- **Remove products from a tag**  
  In the expanded tag area, you’ll see all currently linked products. Click the **X** next to a product to remove the tag from that specific product.
- **Rename a tag**  
  Use the edit action of a tag to change its name. The new name will apply to all products using this tag.
- **Delete a tag**  
  Choose the delete action to remove the tag from the system. This will also remove all product assignments linked to this tag.

## Settings & Options

In **Platform Settings > Edit Tags**, you have the following core options:

- **Tag Name**: Name of the new tag.
- **Products (optional)**: Assign products right when creating a new tag.
- **Add to Tag**: Bulk assignment for existing tags.
- **Edit / Delete**: Central management of existing tags.

## Limitations & Special Notes

A new tag always requires a name. A tag name cannot already exist.  
When adding products to an existing tag, only new connections are made; current assignments remain unchanged.  
Deleting a tag removes all links between that tag and products.

## Tips & Best Practices

- Set up clear and consistent naming conventions (e.g., by category, season, campaign purpose).
- Use the option to assign products while creating tags to save extra steps later.
- For bulk changes, use the bulk assignment within the expanded tag instead of editing products one by one.
- Before deleting a tag, check if it is used in filters, segments, or internal processes.
- Keep your tag list tidy by merging, renaming, or removing tags you no longer need.
