# Tags

Tags are custom labels that help you organize, search, and coordinate guides and surveys across teams.

## Key benefits

- **Better organization**: Group related guides and surveys together.
- **Improved searchability**: Find specific content using tag filters.
- **Team coordination**: Help teams manage their guides and surveys.
- **Bulk management**: Apply changes to multiple guides or surveys at once.
- **Event tracking**: Tags are automatically included as a property on all guide and survey events.

## Adding tags

##### Add tags to an individual guide or survey

1. In the guide or survey editor, click the Tags control under the title.
2. Select an existing tag, or enter a new one.

##### Add existing tags to multiple guides or surveys

1. From the list view, select the guides or surveys to which you want to apply a tag.
2. Click **Assign Tags** in the table header.
3. Select the tags you want to apply.

### Tag naming best practices

- Use descriptive, consistent names (for example, `onboarding`, `feature-announcement`, `user-feedback`)
- Keep tags concise but meaningful
- Use lowercase with hyphens for multi-word tags
- Establish naming conventions across your team

### Renaming tags and editing description

To rename a tag or update its description:

1. Go to the guides list view or surveys list view.
2. Enable the Tags column in table settings.
3. Hover over a cell in the Tags column and click edit.
4. Click the edit icon and update the name, description, or both.
5. Save.

The tag updates across all guides and surveys where it's used.

### Tag best practices for organization

Define a tag system that fits your team. For example:

- **Campaign tags**: Use tags like `spring-campaign`, `product-launch` for time-bound initiatives.
- **Feature tags**: Tag content related to specific features (for example, `analytics`, `billing`, `onboarding`).
- **Team tags**: Identify ownership with tags like `growth-team`, `product-team`.

## Searching and filtering by tags

1. Go to the Guides or Surveys list view.
2. Make sure the Tags column is visible.
3. Click **Add Filter** and select **Tags**.
4. Choose one or more tags from the available options.

The list updates to show only guides with the selected tags.

### Advanced filtering

Combine tag filters with other filters. For example, apply a team tag and a feature tag together to narrow results to a specific guide.

## Bulk operations with tags

From the guides list view or surveys list view, you can select multiple rows and bulk-apply tag updates.

## Tags and throttling

Tags drive [advanced throttling](/docs/guides-and-surveys/throttling#advanced-throttles). Use tags to define rate-limiting strategies for different categories of guides and surveys.

### Throttling use cases with tags

- **Campaign management**: Use campaign tags like `spring-launch` to limit promotional guides.
- **User journey stages**: Use tags like `onboarding`, `activation`, `retention` to control flow progression.
- **Content priority**: Use priority tags like `critical`, `important`, `optional` with different throttle limits.

Plan your tag strategy with throttling in mind. Consistent, meaningful tags make advanced throttling more effective and easier to manage.

For detailed setup instructions, refer to [Advanced Throttles](/docs/guides-and-surveys/throttling#advanced-throttles).
