Add a tag to an item

Version: 9.2

Tagging your items is a great way to categorize them and make it easy to search and find items that have the same tag. In particular, when you have potentially millions of items in an item bucket, using tags can be the quickest way to find your items.

Note

To search for items with a specific tag, you can use the search filter Search by Tag in the Sitecore search functionality.

Add a tag to a single item in the Content Editor

To add a tag to an item:

  1. In the Content Editor, in the content tree, go to the item that you want to add a tag to.

  2. On the Content tab, find and expand the Tagging section.

    Note

    If you do not see the Tagging section, click the View tab and, in the View group, select the Standard fields check box.

  3. In the Tagging section, in the list of all the available tags on the left, you can either search for a specific tag in the search field or select a tag manually. You can use SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple tags.
