Editing and Deleting Tags

Tags added to the My Tags list in the Groups panel can be renamed, edited to change the color of the reference tag, or deleted. Changes made to a tag will apply to all references that tag is assigned to.

If you want to assign tags to a reference or remove them from a reference, see Assigning and Removing Tags.

Renaming a Tag

To rename a tag:

Select the tag to rename from the My Tags list.
Select Rename Tag from the Tags menu.
Type in the new name.
Press the Enter key.

Editing a Tag

To edit a tag:

Select the tag to edit from the My Tags list.
Select Edit Tag… from the Tags menu.
Type in a new name to change the name of the tag.
Choose a different color to change the color of the tag.
Click the Update Tag button.

Deleting a Tag

To delete a tag—

Select the tag to delete from the My Tags list. A confirmation window similar to the one below will be presented. It shows the number of references the tag is assigned to. If the tag is deleted, the tag will be removed from all of these references.
Click Delete if you want to delete the tag, or Cancel if you do not want to delete the tag.

Note: The window above also shows an option labeled "Do not show this message again." This message is a safety feature. Deleted tags are permanently deleted; you will not be able to restore them using the Undo command (Ctrl-Z). If you mark this option, in the future all tags will be immediately deleted if you select them and then select Delete from the Tags menu, and you will not be able to undo the change.
