1. Select a single reference in the reference list.

   2. Scroll down, if necessary, to view the Tags section of the summary and click the X by the tag you want to unassign from the reference.
      
      
      
2. Right-click on a single reference in the reference list to view the contextual menu.
   1. Select Manage Tags from the contextual menu.
   2. Click the X to the right of the tag or tags you want to unassign from the reference.
      
      
      
   3. Click the OK button.
3. In the Summary or Edit panel of the Reference panel, click the Manage tags button.

Note: Removing a tag from a reference is permanent. The Edit > Undo command will not restore a removed tag to a reference. If you accidentally remove a tag from a reference, you will need to reassign the tag to the reference.

Note: To delete a tag completely, which will also remove the tag from all references to which it was assigned, see Editing and Deleting Tags. Deleting tags is permanent. The Edit > Undo command will not restore a deleted tag.
