Add and delete tags on course content

Add and delete tags on course content#

Note

Tags can be added to course content from three places in Studio: From the Course Outline Page, from the Unit Page, and from individual Component Blocks.

Note

Tags can be added to all four levels of the course outline: Sections, Subsections, Units and Component Blocks. Tags do not inherit from one level of the course to another. In other words, when a tag is added to a unit, it is not added to the subsection that the unit is in. Likewise, if a tag is added to a unit, it is not added to the components within.

For instructions on how to add tags to full courses, see Add and delete tags on courses
