How to create, assign, or remove content tags for posts

Tagging your post content helps improve organization and enhances the experience for your audience. By using content tags, you make it easier for subscribers to discover more of the content they care about, increasing engagement. Keep in mind that content tags are specific to posts and are different from subscriber tags, which are used to manage your audience.

In this guide, we will walk you through the complete process of managing content tags for your posts. We'll start with creating tags, and then cover the steps to assign these tags to your posts, making your content more accessible and organized for your audience. Finally, we’ll explain how to assign or remove tags from already published posts, giving you the flexibility to update and refine your content organization as needed.

The (optional) image can be featured in a Tag block on your website, which will dynamically display your tag information. To learn more about using Tag blocks, check out our guide to using content tags on your website.
