How to Add Tags to My Content

Tags are customizable, descriptive labels that can be applied to social media posts at various stages of the content creation and publishing process. They are an essential feature, allowing users to categorize, sort, and manage their social media content by using Tags, group posts based on themes, campaigns, content types, or any other criteria that suit their social media plans.

How to Create Tags

Creating and managing Tags in Ready Social is a straightforward process.

Let us see how to do it:

1. Go to the Setup section in the left-hand sidebar and click on Tags.

2. Press the Create Tag button to start.

3. A dialog box will appear where you can enter the name of your new tag. Choose a descriptive name that represents the category or theme you want to apply.

4. Next, select a color from the color picker. The color will visually differentiate the tag when managing posts. Selecting distinct colors for different Tags enhances usability, especially when organizing posts in the content calendar.

   

How to Use Tags

You can apply Tags in several areas to organize content on Ready Social.

1. Create Post Modal: While creating a post, you can directly apply Tags from the 'Create Post' modal, making it easier to organize content immediately.

   

2. Content Library: You can apply tags to each separate library as well as the content assets stored in them. Using tags to classify content and libraries streamlines content organization in Ready Social, allowing users to find what they are looking for and resulting in swift post creation.

3. Manage Posts: Add Tags to posts with different statuses, such as drafts, queued, delivered, or pending review. This helps maintain a clear overview of all content stages.

   

How to Manage Tags

There are different ways you can manage Tags on Ready Social.

Editing Tags

To edit a tag:

1. Click on the tag you wish to edit.
2. Update the name or color as needed.

3. Save your changes to reflect the updated tag across all related posts.

   

Archiving and Unarchiving Tags

• Archiving Tags: If a tag is no longer needed but might be used in the future, you can archive it. Archiving removes the tag from active use without deleting it.
• Unarchiving Tags: If you need to reactivate an archived tag, go to the 'Archived Tags' filter and select 'Unarchive.' The tag will be restored for active use.

Deleting Tags

To permanently delete a tag:

1. Navigate to the Tags section and select the Delete option from the tag menu.

2. Confirm your action. Be cautious, as this action cannot be undone, and once deleted, the tag is permanently removed from your account.

   

How to Filter Posts With Tags

Tags are one of the prime criteria that users can filter their content with.

Here are the places in the Ready Social app where you can use tags to filter content with:

• Manage Post queues (Queued posts, Unscheduled Error, Delivered, Pending Review)
• Calendar
• Drafts
• Library
• Social Inbox
• Notes

In any of the pages mentioned above, when you go to Filter, pick Tags from the given list of filters.

You can select more than one tag to filter out posts.

At the bottom of the tags list, you will find a toggle.

If you keep it in the off position, any post that matches even a single one of the selected tags will be filtered out.

But if you switch the toggle on, the post that has all the selected tags will be filtered out.
