Remove a tag

Anyone in your account who has access to edit a catalogue or order can remove the tags assigned to it.

Once an order is closed or submitted to a sales rep, the tags assigned to it are locked in place. Reopen a closed order to resume editing the assigned tags.

All accounts can add tags when creating or editing a custom catalogue.
Publisher accounts can add tags when creating or editing a seasonal catalogue.
Retailer, library, and wholesaler accounts can add tags when starting or editing an order.

Filter catalogues and orders by tags

Once a tag has been assigned to a catalogue or order, click on it in the Tags column to filter the My Page or My Orders table by that tag.

You can use the tag filter alongside the text search and display options to find the exact lists that you’re looking for.

Manage full tag list
