Tags make it easier to find and organize news articles. You can filter by tags in both the front end and the back office.

Grouping articles by topic also makes it easier for your community to find updates and articles that interest them.

Devs and Admins can add and manage tags.

You can add tags to a news article from the page where you create or edit an article. To find an article’s edit page, navigate to the “News” feature in the back office.

If you are creating a new article, click on the “Add News” button in the top-right.

If you are editing an existing article, click on the “All News” tab. Then select an article from the list by clicking on a row. You can filter the list to help you find a specific article.

Once on an article’s edit page, you will see a box on the right-hand side with various settings. Scroll down until you see your avatar. Below that, you will see a text field that reads “Tags (optional).”

Begin typing a tag in this field. If that keyword is already used in a tag, it will appear in a dropdown. You can click the tag in the dropdown to add it to the article’s metadata.

Typing into the “Tags (optional)” field will show a dropdown of tags, as shown here.

If the tag does not already exist, finish typing the keyword. Then add a semicolon (;). The tag will be created and added to the article’s metadata.

Make sure to remember the semicolon (;)! Without a semicolon, the tag will not be added and if you try to add a second tag, they will run together.

You can manage tags from the “All Tags” page. On the back office “News” page, click the “Manage Tags” button on the right-hand side. It is located next to the “Add News” button used to create a new article.

The “Manage Tags” button in the “News” feature’s header is highlighted here in purple.

You can also find the “All Tags” page by scrolling down on the “News” dashboard. One of the blocks is labeled “Latest Used Tags.” At the bottom of the list is another button labeled “Manage.” Click the “Manage” button to access the “All Tags” page.

Note: Click on an individual tag in the “Latest Used Tags” block to go directly to its “Edit Tag” side panel.

There is another “Manage” button in the “Latest Used Tags” block. It is highlighted above in purple. Clicking on a tag here will also bring up the “Edit Tag” side panel.

On the “Manage Tags” page, you will see a list of all tags used on news articles.

You can add a tag, edit a tag, and delete a tag from the “Manage Tags” page.

You can also add a tag before it is applied to an article. On the “Manage Tags” page, you will see a button labeled “Add Tag” on the right-hand side of the page’s header. Click this button to open the “Create Tag” side panel.

The “Add Tag” button can be found in the header of the “Manage Tags” page.
It is shown here in purple.

The “Create Tag” side panel has the same fields as the “Edit Tag” side panel, but the tag name is blank by default.

Enter the tag name in the “Name” text field. If you want the tag to be available across Universes, click the “Cross-Universe” toggle.

Then, click “Save” in the top-right to finish creating the tag.

Click on a tag in the list on the “Manage Tags” page to open that tag’s “Edit Tag” side panel. 

In the side panel, you can click the “Cross-Universe” toggle on and off. A cross-universe tag is available across a Studio’s Universes.

You can also update the tag’s name. Any changes made to the tag will be updated across all articles already using that tag and wherever the tag appears on the front end and in the back office.

Make sure to save after making any changes! You can find the “Save” button in the top-right of the side panel.

The “Save” button the “Edit Tag” side panel is highlighted here in purple.

You can delete a tag in the “Edit tag” side panel. Click the red “Delete” button in the top-right. A prompt will appear in the side panel confirming that you want to delete the tag. Click “Delete” to confirm, and the tag will be deleted.

The “Delete” button in the “Edit Tag” side panel is highlighted here in purple.
