Article tags are keywords related to your article that end users might use while searching your knowledge base. Tags can also be used internally to filter articles when using All content (Bulk operations).

Article tags vs. File tags

Earlier article tags and file tags were two different entities. Now we have a Tag manager to manage all tags universally in your project (meaning the same tag can be used for articles, category pages, and Drive files)
The one difference is that the file tags, used in Drive, are attached to files and are only searchable internally in the Drive by project team members.


Adding tag(s) to an article or category page

  1. At the top right of the documentation editor, open Article Settings, scroll down and open the Tags dropdown
  2. Create a new tag or choose an existing one by searching for and then selecting it from a dropdown of relevant matches
  3. Press Return/Enter or click on the tag
  4. When you're done adding the necessary tags, click Save
