Manage list of Tag names
I would like to modify the names of some of the tags that were created by others and would also like to delete some that are not used. I do not see a way to do that anywhere. I know how to add or remove a tag from a file or folder but want to prevent having a list as mile long of tags that shared users will be creating. Also, if you misspell a tag name and want to correct it, you cannot do that adding to the issue.
Is there a way to modify the list of tag names? Is there a place where your list of tags are kept so that they can be managed ie corrected or deleted?
Thanks
I have the same issue and would love a way to edit or remove tags after they're created so they don't keep populating. I haven't found a way to do so yet, but hopefully this can be addressed by the development team? Seems it should be a relatively simple fix? {says the creative-type but non-developer}

Hi ConnieHanks, happy Monday!
Have you tried the steps I provided above, for Reina as to how you can remove tags?
If so, did you have any trouble doing so?
Let me know!
Thanks for checking in - yes, I've already done what you suggested, and although it removes the tag from that individual file, it doesn't remove it from the list of tags that auto-populate when filling in tags for the next file. Through weeks of tagging, I've changed the tags to better flow and group by category, but the old tag names are still popping up as options. I would like those gone as options. It would be great to manage (edit, delete) tags from the master list, not just from individual files. Does that make sense?

Hey Reina T., how are you today?
Are you referring to our web's tags? If so, keep in mind that at the moment, there isn't one place to see all the tags created, but when you search for the # with some letters, you will see that your tags populate.
Now, if you want to remove a tag from a file, you can click the checkbox to the left of it. Then you'll see that tags for that file will appear under the file preview in the right sidebar.
If you click the X to the right of the tag you would like to remove, that should do it.I hope that helps!
