## Add or update taxonomy tags

### Create a new tag

To add a tag, go to the **Taxonomies** application and add a **New taxonomy**. Then, fill in the **Taxonomy name** and add a **Description** to describe the tag or its usage in more detail to help your colleagues understand its meaning or implications.

![New tag with name and description.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/creating-new-taxonomy.png "New tag with name and description.")

Unless you want to customize the **Identifier**, keep it as it is. Xperience creates the identifier automatically from the tag name.

### Update a tag

Imagine you are an editor responsible for your company’s article section. You already created some tags, but then realized you need to rewrite one tag’s name.

To update the tag, find it in the tag tree in the **Taxonomies** application. Open the tag and adjust what you need, such as the tag name.

> **Warning:** If you already used the tag somewhere, reconsider changing the **Identifier**. The identifier is a developer-friendly name similar to a code name, and you should treat it with care. Changing it can break some functionality you don’t know about.

### Remove a tag

If you need to remove a tag, for example, you realize you created a duplicate of an already existing tag, you can do so in the respective tag tree. Open the _three-dot menu_ on the right side of the tag and select **Delete**.

![Delete a tag in the tag tree.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/deleting-tag.png "Delete a tag in the tag tree.")

> **Warning:** Like changing the **Identifier** mentioned above, removing a tag can break an existing functionality you don't know about.

## Work with tag trees

### Configure parent-child relationship

Xperience by Kentico allows you to sort tags within a taxonomy into a hierarchy of tags.

Let's follow up on the previous example and create a tag tree, which we’ll use to define article types. We want to add four children tags for our parent _Article type_ tag.

Choose the _Article type_ taxonomy in the taxonomy list. In the left tree, you see the _Article type_ is selected. If you have more subcategories in your tag tree, just select the one you want to add the new child tag to.

Adding a new tag will create the child tag for the tag selected in the tree. Fill in the **Name**, **Description** or other requested fields. Now, if you just **Save** the tag, Xperience creates it and nothing else happens. But we want to create three more tags, so let’s select **Save and create another**. Xperience saves the new tag and immediately creates a new one on the same hierarchy level.

![Save and create another tag to automatically create a new tag on the same hierarchy level.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/creating-new-tag.png "Save and create another tag to automatically create a new tag on the same hierarchy level.")

### Move tags in the tree hierarchy

Sometimes, you need to move tags into another part of a hierarchy tree. For example, the _Press release_ contains several articles about company’s charity activities. So you want to create a charity tag to filter the _Press release_ articles even more. But you created the tag on the same level and now you need to move it under the _Press release_.

To move the tag, grab it by the grip dots icon on the left and drag and drop it where you want this tag to be in the tree.

![Moving a tag in a hierarchy tree.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/grab-tag.png "Moving a tag in a hierarchy tree.")

You can move the tag to different levels of the hierarchy or even create a new one, as you can see in the image below. Just move the tag more to the left to cover the _arrow in the box_ icon. The grey box indicates the tag _Press release_ will be a child to the _Interview_ tag.

![New hierarchy after the tag was moved.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/new-tag-article-type.png "New hierarchy after the tag was moved.")

## Translate tags across different languages

Translating tags in Xperience is easy; you can add all languages variants at one place in the **Taxonomies** application. Taxonomies don’t have the same properties as [multilingual content](https://docs.kentico.com/guides/digital-marketing/work-with-multilingual.md), however, it doesn’t mean you cannot translate them.

Find the tag you want to translate in the **Taxonomies** application. Add translations to languages you need and save the changes.

![Translating the tags directly.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/tag-translations.png "Translating the tags directly.")

The translations will show in the respective language variants of content automatically. If the tag is not translated to the target language, Xperience will show the default language.

![Tag translated to Czech added to Czech language variant of an article.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/article-tag-translated.png "Tag translated to Czech added to Czech language variant of an article.")

![Czech language variant of an article with a tag that was not translated.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/article-tag-not-translated.png "Czech language variant of an article with a tag that was not translated.")

## Use tags to filter categories in the Article list widget

Let's see one more practical example of how to use taxonomies, this time in Page Builder.

Find the _News_ page in the content tree in the _Personal banking_ channel. Edit the page to make changes. Find the **Article list** widget in the **Page Builder** and open the widget's **properties**.

As shown in the image below, you can filter the displayed articles by choosing the appropriate tags.

![Choosing tags to filter displayed articles.](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/modules/taxonomies-in-kbank/tags-in-article-list.png "Choosing tags to filter displayed articles.")

If you try this in the demo Kbank site, you can play around and see how Xperience immediately shows articles with your selected tags.

## To sum up

If you tried the examples on your instance of demo Kbank site, you now know how to create tags and whole taxonomy trees. You are also able to move the tags in the trees, adjust or remove the tags, and are aware of possible complications the changes may bring.
