Label Notes and Cards with Tags

Create colored Tags to group Notes and Cards, find their shared work, and build a Custom Review.

A Tag is a colored label for related Notes and Cards. It can help you find work from different Topics in one place.

Create a Tag

Open Tags, choose New tag, enter a name, pick a color, and save. You can change the name or color later with Edit.

Add a Tag to your work

  • In a Note, open References, choose Add connected object, select Tag, then search for and choose the label.
  • In a Card, open Tags, choose Add tags, then search for and choose the label. Save the Card.

Find or review tagged work

Open Tags and search the directory. Select a Tag to see its Cards and Notes in separate tabs. Cards connected to a tagged Note can appear in the Cards tab too. Use Sort tags to sort by name or creation date; Rows changes how many Tags appear on a page.

Choose Review to open a Custom Review with Cards from that Tag. Check the Card preview and remove any other decks you do not want before you save or start the Review.

If a Tag has no linked work, its Usage tabs show zero. Deleting a Tag removes its links to Notes and Cards, but does not delete those Notes or Cards.

Learn to choose Cards for a Custom Review or find work in Library.
