Tags (formerly post labels) help you group and categorize posts by topic, brand, campaign, or content pillar. This guide shows you how to add tags to a post while you're scheduling it.
How to add a tag to a post
1. Click Create to open the content scheduling window.
2. Add your content, plus a link or media.
3. Right below the media, you'll see the tags field. Click the small triangle icon to see a dropdown of your existing tags. Nested tags appear under their parent tag.
4. To create a new tag, click the tags field and start typing. Click Create to add the tag. Creating a new tag needs the Manage tags permission in every profile group. Members with Use only access won't see this option.
5. Add as many tags as you need, then schedule your post.
How to manage your tags
Renaming, recoloring, nesting, merging, archiving, and deleting tags all happen in one place: Settings → Tags. Changes there apply everywhere the tag is used, including posts, inbox, media, ideas, and tasks. You need the Manage tags permission to make these changes. Learn more in Who can create and manage tags.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I add more than one tag to a post?
A: Yes. You can add as many tags as you need, unless a tag belongs to a pick-one group. In that case, you can only choose one tag from that group.
Q: Can I create a tag while scheduling a post?
A: Yes, if you have the Manage tags permission in every profile group. Type a new name in the tags field in the post scheduling window and click Create. Without that permission, the picker won't show Create, or you'll see a message naming the tag.
Q: Can I add tags to posts I bulk schedule with a CSV?
A: Yes. Add a publication_tags column to your CSV and separate multiple tags with |||. Tags that don't exist yet are created automatically during import, as long as you have the Manage tags permission in every profile group. Learn more in How to add tags to CSV bulk scheduled posts.
Q: Why can't I see some of our tags?
A: You only see tags that are available to all profile groups or limited to groups you belong to.
Q: How do I rename, recolor, or remove a tag?
A: Go to Settings → Tags and select the tag. When you rename a tag, its old name is saved as an alias so it can still be found in search.
Q: What happened to my post labels?
A: They're now tags. Every post you labeled before still has its tag.

Note Labels are now tags. Your existing labels carried over as tags, and you can manage all of them in Settings → Tags. Learn more in How to create and manage tags. |
