Ability to Edit Tags and People

Hope this hasn’t been offered up a million x before…

I’m coming over from Evernote and Things3, both of which have the ability to edit tag lists at a fairly granular level.

After using Evernote for years, being able to edit tags has been an important feature over long periods of time (perhaps the language of a certain tag changes, e.g. a restructuring of an organization, requiring a change in tag name going forward). Being able to edit our collection of tags and people, I think, would make the feature more useful.

Also, the mobile application comes pre-set with a list of tags and people, none of which are useful to me. It would be great to be able to delete these items, so that they don’t clutter the list of tags and people on the ios app. Nothing like having to find my associate’s name amidst “Christian” and Janice”. :confounded:

rooting for you :wink:

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, a tag management system is certainly on the roadmap.

We don’t pre-populate tags as such; the tags you are seeing are in the sample data. The tag list shows all the tags in any note, including the sample data. I believe that if you remove the sample data, the tags will also be removed in time.

Kind regards,
Drew

Hope to hear more about this. By ‘in time’ do you mean after closing and opening the app again or after a predetermined time. I’ve been looking at my tags and or people and I’d see something like a tag called Coaching and then a tag called coaching that were basically the same but also appeared in different parts of this list.

Hoping for 1) autocomplete of tags/people 2)management area or pop up to see number of instances for tag/people and the option to rename.

By “in time” I mean they should disappear within a few seconds, but not 100% sure about that.

We would also like some tag management tools and autocomplete. Definitely in the roadmap.

+1 on Tag and Person Editing

I’d like to have a list of tags/people, from which I can (A) edit the tag globally across all instances and (B) call up all notes with that tag.
