# Manage  and Assign Tags

Tags are an optional way to associate keywords with users and improve searchability. Each user can have one or more tags associated with it.

Common uses for tags include associating users by **skills, experience, geography, job titles**, and so on. Some examples of tags: Javascript, Photoshop, Junior, Senior, Paris, UK, Lead Consultant, Remote... Whatever criteria you want to use to categorize your team.

To edit or delete tags, go to the Users section and click the **Manage tags** icon.

From there, you may either **Edit**, **Delete** an existing Tag or create a new one using the **\+ button**.

Note that by default, tags are **sorted alphabetically**, but you can also sort them by count (just click on "Users" to do so). Clicking on the user's count will display all users tagged with this value.

Note: Clicking the **"Bin" icon** deactivates the tag, moving it to the **"Deactivated"** list. From there, you can **permanently delete** the tag, which will remove it from all associated users. **This action cannot be undone**, so proceed with caution.

### To add a tag to a user: 

1.  Go to **Users** and select the user you’d like to edit
2.  Click on **Edit**
3.  Under **Tags**, mark (or remove) any tag as desired
4.  Click **Save**
