# Organizing with Tags

Learn how to organize Surfer documents with tags

The query management system in Surfer is based on simple tags that will help you organize your work.

## Create a new tag

You can create tags in two simple ways:

1\. Go to the dashboard of any of our tools and click "New tag" on the right side.

2\. Create a tag while **tagging a query**. Click **"Add tag"** and select one of your existing tags or type your new tag name. Choose the **"Create a new tag"** button to save it.

## Add tags to your query

1\. Go to **Keyword Research, SERP Analyzer**, **Audit**, or **Content Editor**, and tag a query of your choice by selecting Add tag option 

2\. There, you can either create a new tag or select one of your existing ones

💡 To help you keep consistency across the whole toolset, your tags set is the same for **Audit, SERP Analyzer, Content Editor, and Keyword Research**.

## Rename or delete tags

1\. Scroll down to the tags list and click on the small arrow next to your tag name.

2\. From there, you can **rename** or **delete** the tag. Don't worry; deleting tags won't delete queries assigned to them.

## Filtering with tags

**"Search by keyword or tags"** is the most straightforward and handy method that makes the search experience smooth and accurate. Start typing, and Surfer will look for a match in keywords and tags.

Alternatively, click on a **tag** to show all queries within this tag or pick it from the list of all tags available on the right-hand side.

## Examples of use

You can use tags in many ways. Tagging is the most flexible management system.

1.  Indicate your clients - tag analysis made for **a specific client**.
    
2.  Group queries under the tag for one specific website or even a single page – in this case, use **URL** as the tag name.
    
3.  Are you working in a team? Tag queries created by your colleagues – using your **full name** as a tag is a great way to manage your work.
    
4.  Tag periods for measuring performance over time. Use **months** or **quarters** like "q2 2020" to reveal analysis created at a specific moment in the past.
    
5.  What's the status of your work? Tag a query as "**to do"** or "**done"** to make sure that there is nothing left to check.
    

**TIP:** These five ideas are just examples of using tags. You can tailor it to your current processes and use an unlimited number of tags.
