> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

Tagging is useful when you want to differentiate pages using key words, called tags. Tags are assigned to individual pages, and are a convenient way of classifying pages based on various criteria, such as interests.

The purpose of tags depends on your website's implementation. Developers can use tags to build navigation options that allow site visitors to view pages with a similar topic. For example, a site visitor could want to view pages related to _wind surfing_ after reading an article about Sydney.

The following image illustrates how a custom tag cloud component could appear (displaying tags with scaling size, with each tag linking to a list of pages or products with the given tag).

Depending on how your administrator configured the system, you can tag pages in the two following ways:

- [On the Properties tab](#tagging-pages-using-properties)
- [On the Content tab](#tagging-pages-on-the-content-tab)

> **Info:** **Note**: To learn about other possible ways of categorizing pages, see [Categorizing pages](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/categorizing-pages.md).

## Tagging pages using Properties

If the system administrator granted you access to the **Properties -> Tags** tab, you can use it to tag pages. Otherwise, you may want to use the [Content tab](#tagging-pages-on-the-content-tab) for tagging pages.

To tag pages using the Properties tab:

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Select the page that you want to tag.
3. Switch to the **Properties -> Tags** tab.
4. Choose a tag group using the **Page tag group** drop-down list. If you select the **Inherit** check box, the page inherits the parent page's tag group.
5. Enter the tags in the **Page tags** field or use the **Select** button to choose tags from the currently chosen **Page tag group** and click **OK**.
   - Typing a tag that is not under the selected **Page tag group** assigns it to the tag group.

6. **Save** the changes.

The system attaches the tags to the page.

## Tagging pages on the Content tab

To tag pages on the **Content** tab:

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Select the page that you want to tag.
3. Switch to the **Content** tab.
4. Enter the tags in the appropriate field or use the **Select** button to choose from a list of tags used before and click **OK**.\
   **Note** that the field may not be named _Tags_ in your system. The name of the field may differ based on how your [administrator configured the system](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/configuring-the-environment-for-content-editors/configuring-tags/allowing-users-to-tag-pages-via-fields.md).
