# Tagging and searching for content

Tags are a way of adding search/reporting terms to content. They allow users to find content quicker and easier.

### **Adding/editing ‘Tags’ to assets**

-   Select an asset by clicking on it’s thumbnail.
-   In the **‘Tags’** section, click on the tag category you wish to add or edit.
-   In the popup window, select the **‘Tags’** which apply to that asset.
-   To remove a **Tag**, just untick it.
-   Click **‘Save’**.
-   The tags selected are now saved to the asset and available for searching and filtering.

### **Searching for content**

There are multiple search options in the Library which can be used in isolation or together to allow greater filtering of results.

### **General/Quick searching**

-   To run a simple quick search, type your search criteria in the search bar in the left navigation and hit **‘Enter’** or click **‘Apply filter’**.
-   Your search results will be displayed with a note to how many assets match your criteria.

### **Advanced searching**

-   In the left navigation of the **‘Library’** you will see a number of filters and search options.
-   Open the relevant category you want to search or filter by and select or enter a value.
-   Build your search options as required using:
    -   **Asset type** – The category of asset
    -   **Tag categories** – Structured taxonomy per category
    -   **Spaces** – The various spaces where assets have been published
    -   **Owner** – The owner of the asset
    -   **Dates** – The dates the asset was added
    -   **Embedded metadata** – XMP/EXIF data extracted from the files themselves
-   Click **‘Apply’** to run your search.
-   Your search results will be displayed with a note to how many assets match your criteria.
