# Organize cards with tags

Tags let you group cards across decks without moving them. For example, use `travel`, `verbs`, or `needs-example` to mark material you want to find later.

A card can have up to **five tags**.

## Add tags to a card

1. Open an existing card, or start **Add Card → Enter manually**.
2. Tap the info button to open **Card Info**.
3. In **Tag Info**, open **Select Tag**.
4. Search for and select the tags you want. Use **New Tag** when you need a new label.
5. Confirm the selection, return to the card editor, and tap **Save** or **Add Card**.

The selected tags belong to that card. Tag changes made while preparing imported or AI-generated cards remain part of those drafts until you add the cards to the deck.

## Manage your tag list

Open **Settings → Tags** to find and manage saved tags. Open a tag to change its label or delete it.

Deleting a tag removes the tag association from cards; it does not delete the cards themselves. Renaming an existing tag changes the shared label, so you do not have to update every tagged card individually.

## Show or hide tags during practice

In **Deck Setting → Study Setting → Flashcard**, use **Show Tag**. During a Flashcard session, the card action menu also provides **Hide Tag** or **Show Tag**.

Hiding tags changes what you see during review. It does not remove the tags or stop them being usable in Search.

## Use tags consistently

Choose a small set of labels with distinct meanings. A topic such as `travel` works well as a tag; the question and answer themselves belong in fields. Use the main Search tab's tag filters when you want to find cards with a particular label.
