Tags enable you to identify content items as well as group content items together in the Content Repository. You can build a thesaurus of tags, giving them mutual relations and associate them with items in the Content Repository. One tag can be assigned to multiple items and an item can be associated with multiple tags. Tags are not limited for use only with articles - they can be used with all items:

To add a tag to a content item, navigate to the Basic tab in the Properties Widget while viewing the item.
