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 rem...
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?

Hi ConnieHanks, thank you for clarifying!
And yes, that makes total sense. I would suggest two things. You can either clear your browser's cache, to see if that's going to work and remove the old tags.
You can also share everything that you have in mind as a feature request on our "Share an idea" board, in order for others to see and also up-vote it.
If you have a moment, feel free to do so. Thanks a bunch!
