In this article

Database organization in Notion becomes much more powerful when you use tags to categorize and sort your content. Tags allow you to quickly filter through large amounts of data and create dynamic views based on specific criteria.

This tutorial will walk you through the complete process of adding tags to your Notion database, from setting up tag properties to creating custom tags that can be reused across all your entries.

Here's how to add tags in Notion

  1. Navigate to the database where you want to add tags.
  2. Look for an existing tag property in your database columns.
  3. If no tag property exists, click the add icon (+) to create a new property and select the tag option.
  4. Click inside the tag field of any database entry to begin adding tags.
  5. Type the name of your new tag and press Enter or click Create to establish it.
  6. Confirm that your newly created tag appears and is applied to the current item.
  7. Repeat this process to create additional tags for the same entry or other database items.
  8. Use your created tags across all database entries to organize and filter your content effectively.

Your turn to show how it works.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, tags are specific to each individual database in Notion. If you want to use similar tags in multiple databases, you'll need to recreate them in each database separately. However, once created within a database, tags can be reused for any entry in that same database.
