Manage task tags

Create, edit, and delete tags on tasks to organize your work.
Task tags are different than Doc tags. Check out this article if you'd like to learn about Doc tags. 

What you'll need

  • The Tags ClickApp is available on all ClickUp plans.
  • A Workspace owner or admin will need to enable the Tags ClickApp. 
  • Tags are managed at the Space level. 
  • Workspace owners and admins can give individual guests permission to add or remove task and Doc tags.
  • Guests can't create, edit, or delete tags.
  • Tasks can have up to 600 tags.

    To improve platform performance, this new usage limit was implemented in November 2024.

  4. Type the name of your new tag.
  5. Press enter.

Edit or delete a tag

Tag changes apply to all tags across all tasks in your current Space. Tags are unique to each Space, but tags with the same name will be treated as the same tag when filtering and viewing all Spaces.
To edit or delete an existing tag:
  1. Open a task.
  2. Hover over the tag you want to edit or delete.
  3. Click the ellipsis ... icon.

  4. Choose from the following editing options:
    • Delete: Delete the tag from all tasks in your Space. To remove a tag from the current task only, click the x to the right of the tag name.

      Deleted tags can be recovered from the Trash within 30 days of deletion.

    • Rename: Rename the tag. Any tasks with that tag will be updated to reflect the new tag name.
    • Change color: Change the color of the tag.

You can also make these changes by hovering over tasks in List and Board views.
