Move Tags

Tags can be moved using either drag and drop or by using the cut and paste functions.

Note: Hold down SHIFT or Ctrl (⌘ on Mac) to edit multiple tags.

Using Drag and Drop

tags can be reorganized simply by dragging and dropping them to the desired location in the tree. When a tag is dragged to a target, a horizontal black line appears on the screen under the target tag. The length of the black line indicates whether the dragged tag will be inserted underneath the target tag, or added as a child to the target tag.

This Tag will become a child of Page 6.

The longer line designates the tag will be inserted underneath page 7 as a child of page 6

This Tag will become a child of Page 7.

The shorter line designates that the tag will be added as a child of page 7

Using Cut & Paste

Cut and Paste can also be used to reorganize tag. You can cut a tag from the tree by right-clicking (Mac: Ctrl + Click) on it and selecting cut or by using the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+X (Mac: ⌘ + C). Then paste the tag onto its new parent by right-clicking (Mac: Ctrl + Click) on an existent tag and selecting Paste or by using the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+V (Mac: ⌘ + V).

Delete Tags

There are three ways that a tag can be deleted:

Select the tag with the mouse and press Delete on your keyboard
Select the tag with the mouse and click on the delete button at the top of the tag panel
Right-click (Mac: Ctrl + Click) on the tag in the tag tree and choose the Delete option in the mouse menu

Note: Hold down SHIFT or Ctrl (⌘ on Mac) to edit multiple tag.
