  1. On the Task details tab in a plan task, click into the Tags field and click Create new tag.
  2. In the Name field, enter a label for your tag.
  3. Choose a color for your tag. You can see what the tag will look like in the Preview field.

Any tags that you create are saved to the plan. This means that all tasks in a plan can share the available tags in that same plan. Tasks can't access tags from other plans.

Click the Edit a tag icon next to a tag to edit or delete the tag.

Important: When you delete a tag, the tag is removed from all tasks in the plan that use the tag.
