What is a Tag?

A tag is a label that you can assign to a link. Tags are color-coded and can be created and assigned to a link in just a few clicks.

With tags, you can:

  1. Organize your links by campaigns, clients, or any other categories you can think of.
  2. Filter your links by tags and get a shareable link to the filtered results.
  3. Easily edit/delete your tags.
