Read this article to learn how to add tags to your notes, files, and folders.
Tags let you attach keywords to notes, documents, and folders, making them easier to find, browse, and filter when you’ve got a lot of different content to manage. Use multiple tags on the same page if a note sits in several categories, and rename or remove them as needed.
Sort and filter by tag within notebooks, folders, and pages from the Tags overview in the My files main menu. It’s simple to start adding your own easy-to-remember tags, and we’ve written a few examples (Important, Follow up) to get you started.
Your tags will also appear in Page overview when browsing notebooks and documents on your reMarkable.
