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.


How to create tags to organize your post content

  1. From your Dashboard in the left panel, click on Posts.



  2. In Posts, click on Manage Content Tags in the upper right.



  3. Click on Create Content Tag.


  4. Name your content tag. (Required)



  5. Add a description for your content tag. (Optional)



  6. Click on Save.



  7. Once added, you’ll be brought back to your Content Tags dashboard where you’ll see your new content tag listed.



  8. If you’d like to edit or delete your content tags at any time, click on the 3-dots menu found to the right of the tag name.
    You’ll be presented with the option to Edit or Delete your content tags.



  9. Once you have created multiple content tags, they will be accessible search options on your publication website.


How to assign content tags to a post 

  1. From your left panel Dashboard, open a saved post or click on Start Writing.



  2. The Post Builder will open on the Compose page. Above the post title, click on Add content Tags to select from the content tags in your account.



  3. To add a new content tag, click on Create content tag. A popup will appear for you to add a Name (required) and a Description (optional) for your tag. Once done, click Save Content Tag.



  4. Once you've added a new content tag, you'll need to select it from the available options. To do this, click on Add content tags above the post title, then choose your newly created tag. A checkmark will appear, confirming the tag has been successfully added to your post.



  5. You can also click on Manage content tags, which will take you back to your Content Tags dashboard where you can edit, delete, or create new content tags.


How to assign or remove content tags from a published post

  2. The Post Builder will open on the Compose page. Above the post title, click on Add content tags to select from the content tags in your account. From here, you can add existing tags or delete them, the same as you would if you had not published the post. Changes will be saved automatically.
