# Tags

## Introduction

Tags are a way to group and classify content in the CMS. This makes it easier to manage, search, and show related items on your site.

By assigning tags to content entities​ — such as stories, photos, or documents​ — you can group them by shared topics, themes, or attributes, without affecting their structure or location.

## Accessing the *Tags* overview page

To manage tags in the CMS, start by logging into FORGE Content Manager with the appropriate permissions. Once logged in, in the top-left corner, select the hamburger menu icon:

In the hamburger menu, select *Tags*:

This opens the Tags overview page. From here you can see the tags you have, make new ones, change tag names, and delete tags you don't use.

Read the [Searching entities](/v1/docs/searching-entities) article for more information about how overview pages work.

If you don't see the *Tags* section, it may need enabling by an administrator.

## Ways to create tags

FORGE provides four ways to create tags:

- [In the entity overview pages](/v1/docs/tags#in-the-entity-overview-pages)
- [In the entity detail pages](/v1/docs/tags#in-the-entity-detail-pages)
- [In the Tags overview page](/v1/docs/tags#in-the-tags-overview-page)
- [Getting tags from external sources](/v1/docs/tags#getting-tags-from-external-sources)

### In the entity overview pages

You can add tags to content in entity overview pages. This example uses the story overview page:

1. Select the stories to tag
2. Select the tag icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/19238331418268.png) at the bottom of the screen
3. Create a new tag

This process works the same for all entity types.

### In the entity detail pages

You can add tags to content in entity detail pages. This example uses the story detail page:

1. Select the tags icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/19238331418268.png) on the right side of the page: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757680453356.png)
2. The *Context and Tags*section displays where creating a new tag: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757680519963.png)

This process works the same for all entity types.

### In the Tags overview page

1. Select the *New* button: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757680543162.png)
2. The following pop-up window displays so that you can create a new tag by adding a tag title: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/19238674614172.png)
3. Select *Create* to save the new tag (it then appears in the list of available tags)

### Getting tags from external sources

Refer to the dedicated [External tags](/v1/docs/external-tags) article.

## Editing tags

The tag detail page consists of three sections:

1. **Translations**: The tag translations work as for each custom entity. Find more information in the [Translations with language-independent workflow](/v1/docs/translations-with-language-independent-workflow) article.
2. **Main details**:
  - **Type of tag**: Read-only. Select from:
    - ***Internal***: When the tag is created by editing entities or in the overview page.
    - ***Custom entity***: When a custom entity is configured to be used ‌as a tag in *Administration -> Custom Entities*. In the example below, the custom entity *Visual Card* is configured to be used as a tag: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image(78).png)
    - ***External***: When the tag is imported from an external source. See the dedicated [External tags](/v1/docs/external-tags) article.
  - **Source**: Read-only. Select from:
    - ***Forge***: When the tag is created within FORGE.
    - ***Source name/URL***: When the tag comes from an external source.
  - **Relations**: Counts how many entities the tag references.
  - **Extra data**: Enriches the tag with structured information in JSON format. The front-end implementation uses extra data to render the tagged content.
3. **Main properties**:
  - **Entity code**: The tag's unique identifier.
  - **Slug**: The tag's human-readable and language-independent unique identifier.
