Tags categorize people. A label such as AI People → Educators helps you recognize someone who teaches a topic you want to learn. Hover over a name in your timeline to search your personal tags, create a sub-tag, and apply it without leaving the post. The collection selector stays empty, so the tag belongs to your personal account.

​
Apply a tag to a profile

  1. Open someone’s profile, or hover over their name or profile photo on a post.
  2. In the Whodis section, choose + Add a tag or Edit tags.
  3. Use Search tags to find a label, then select its checkbox.
  4. Choose Done to close the editor. Changes save as you make them.
Applied tags appear in the person’s hovercard and profile, and above the text of their posts.

​
Create tags and sub-tags

Clear Search tags to show the creation controls. Choose New tag, enter a name, and choose the checkmark. To make a more specific label, expand a top-level tag and choose New sub-tag. Create Educators under AI People, then select the new sub-tag’s checkbox to apply it. Creating a label and applying it are separate actions.

​
Keep tags personal or organize them in a collection

Leave Add to a collection unselected to use personal tags. Open Tags in the Whodis side panel to manage those labels and browse the people you have categorized. Choose a collection in the tag editor when you want labels to belong to that collection instead. Collection tags follow the collection’s visibility. Open Collections in the side panel to revisit those people alongside the collection’s notes and bookmarks. Collections connect the people you categorize with the context and posts you save. Making a selected collection public does not publish your separate personal tags.

​
Remove a tag

Open Edit tags and clear a tag’s checkbox to remove it from that person. The label stays available for other people. To rename or delete a personal tag, open Tags in the side panel and choose the tag. Deleting a top-level tag also deletes its sub-tags, after confirmation. Use a profile note when you want to explain the context in your own words, or bookmark a post when you want to save what someone shared.
