How-to: Add and delete tags on course content

Note: Tags can be added to course content from three places in Studio: From the Course Outline Page, from the Unit Page, and from individual Component Blocks.

Note: Tags can be added to all four levels of the course outline: Sections, Subsections, Units and Component Blocks. Tags do not inherit from one level of the course to another. In other words, when a tag is added to a unit, it is not added to the subsection that the unit is in. Likewise, if a tag is added to a unit, it is not added to the components within. 

For instructions on how to add tags to full courses, see Add and Delete Tags on Courses.

Adding Tags from the Course Outline Page

1. Choose a section, a subsection or a unit that you would like to add tags to.

2. In the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner of the content block, click “Manage Tags”. The tag drawer will open.

3. Click “Edit Tags”.

4. Click in the “Add a tag” field in any taxonomy from which you’d like to choose tags. (For instructions on how to add and enable a taxonomy, see How to Import a Taxonomy.)

5. If you know the tag you would like to add, start typing the tag in the “Add a tag” field and potential matches will display.

6. If you don’t know the tag you would like to add, scroll through the list of tags until you find the tag you would like to add. 

Note that tags may be nested as subtags, and that clicking on the arrows will open any nested tags.

7. Once you have decided which tag you would like to add, click on the checkbox next to the tag. Add as many tags as you would like. 

Note that choosing a nested tag will automatically add its parent tags as well. 

8. When you are finished, click “Add tags”. You will see the newly added tags in the tag drawer view. 

9. Click save and close out of the tag drawer. You will see the tag count updated in the content block.
