# Tag groups

Tag groups let you organise related tags under a shared parent label. When your tag library grows large, grouping tags by theme or category makes it easier to manage them and understand their usage across your knowledge base.

Within each group, you can see all the tags it contains and their dependencies across articles, page categories, and files in Drive.

To access tag groups, navigate to **Content tools** (<i class="fa-sharp fa-light fa-pen-ruler"></i>) > **Tags** in the left navigation bar and click the **Groups** tab.

## When to use tag groups

- Use tag groups when your tag library has grown large enough that individual tags are hard to navigate.
- Group tags by product area, content type, or team to make filtering and auditing easier.
- Assign new tags to a group at creation time to keep the library organised from the start.

## Add tags to a tag group

There are two ways to add tags to a group.

**At creation time:** When creating a new tag from the Manage tags page, select the group from the **Select group** dropdown before clicking **Create**. The tag is assigned to the group immediately.

</div>

**From the tag library:** On the **Tags** tab, select the checkboxes next to the tags you want to move, click **Move** from the bulk actions toolbar, and select the destination group from the dropdown. Click **Move**.

## Delete a tag group

:::(Warning) (<p class="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"></p> CAUTION)
Deleting a tag group deletes all tags within the group and removes their dependencies from all associated articles, page categories, and files. This action cannot be reversed.
:::

1. Navigate to **Content tools** (<i class="fa-sharp fa-light fa-pen-ruler"></i>) > **Tags** in the left navigation bar.
2. Click the **Groups** tab.
3. Select the checkbox next to the group you want to delete.
4. Click **Delete** from the toolbar.
5. Click **Yes** to confirm.

## Best practices

- Create tag groups before building out your tag library so new tags can be assigned to a group from the start.
- Name groups clearly and broadly enough that multiple tags can belong, for example, "Product features" or "Audience".
- If you need to dissolve a group, move its tags to other groups before deleting to preserve the tags and their dependencies.
