Tag a file in a collection to flag it for review and filter for it later.

Use tagging when you’re reviewing a collection and want a quick way to narrow the file list without creating attributes or changing the collection. Tagging applies a single on, off state per file. You can then filter the collection to show only tagged files, which is useful for building a short list of items to compare or revisit. If you share a collection, other users can see which files you tagged and can filter by that tag, but they can’t apply or remove tags themselves.

Before you begin

  • You have access to the collection that contains the file.
  • You own the file. Only the file owner can tag or untag the file.
  • If you have shared access to a collection, you can view tags and filter by them, but you cannot tag or untag files.

Tag a file

  1. Open the collection that contains the file you want to tag.

  2. Locate the file using the Search field, or the File name and Document title column.

  3. Select the Tag Document icon for the file.

    The collection's file list with the "Tag Document" button highlighted.

What happens after you tag a file

  • The Tag Document icon turns color and remains visible for that file in the collection list.
  • The tag becomes available as a filterable value, so you can filter the collection to show only tagged files.
  • The tag remains applied until you untag the file.
The Filter interface with the "Tag" filter selected and the "Condition" menu expanded.

When to tag a file

  • You want to mark a particular file for follow-up during manual review.
  • You want to narrow the collection to a subset of relevant files by filtering in or out the tagged files.
  • You want to iteratively refine a set of relevant files by tagging, filtering to tagged files, and untagging files that don't match your criteria.
