# Tag a Note (/docs/using/notes/tags)

Tags are labels on a Note, like "Personal" or "Promo". In the app's tag picker they are called categories. Besides organizing Notes, tags decide which reserved queue times a Note can take.

## Add a tag to a Note [#add-a-tag-to-a-note]

1. Open the Note in the editor.
2. Click the tag button in the toolbar ("Add a category").
3. Turn on the switch next to each tag you want. A Note can have several tags.

On a Note card in **My Notes**, the tag icon opens the same picker.

## Create a tag [#create-a-tag]

1. Open the tag picker.
2. Type a name in **New category...**.
3. Press Enter or click **Add**.

If no tag matches what you typed, the picker shows "Press Enter or click Add to create a new tag".

## Change a tag's color or delete it [#change-a-tags-color-or-delete-it]

In the tag picker, hover a tag and open its menu. Pick a new color, or click **Delete**.

## How tags affect scheduling [#how-tags-affect-scheduling]

Each time in your [weekly template](/docs/using/schedule/weekly-template) is one of three kinds:

| Time | Who can use it |
| --- | --- |
| **Any note** | Tagged and untagged Notes |
| Reserved for tags | Notes that share at least one of its tags |
| **Only untagged notes** | Notes with no tags |

When you click **Add to Queue**, a tagged Note takes the first **Any note** time or matching reserved time, whichever is sooner. An untagged Note never takes a reserved time during normal routing. The full rules and examples are on [Tags and slots](/docs/using/concepts/tags-and-slots).

The **Add to Queue** button shows the time it will use. If it is a reserved time, the tag name follows the date.

## Tips [#tips]

- Changing a Note's tags doesn't move it if it is already scheduled. Tags only matter when the Note is placed.
- If you create a Note from an empty reserved time in the queue, it starts with that time's tags.
- In a CSV import, the `tag` column adds one tag per Note. See [Write a Note](/docs/using/notes/drafting#import-notes-from-a-csv-file).
