# Organizing notes

In iNotepad files, notes can be assigned one or more tags (formerly known as categories).
When you select a tag in the tags list, only the notes associated with that tag will be displayed in the notes list.
If you select more than one tag, all the notes associated with the selected tags will be displayed.

## Here are ways to tag a note:

- Select one or more notes in the notes list and drag them onto the desired tag in the tags list.

- Select a tag in the tags list and create a new note.

  The new note will be tagged with the currently selected tag.

  Currently iNotepad will not allow note creation when more than one tag is selected.

- Choose View > Show Tags or click the Tags button on the toolbar.

  A tags bar will appear at the bottom of the note text showing all the tags assigned to the current note, if any.

  Start typing there and a list of available tags whose name starts with the typed characters will appear, choose the one you want and type a comma “,” to confirm.

  If the name that you typed doesn't match any existing tag a popover will appear asking if you want to create a new one, the new tag will be then automatically assigned to the current note.

  You can also drag and drop a tag from the tags list into the tags bar.

- iNotepad highlights in the tags list the tags assigned to the selected notes when the Option key is pressed.

## To remove a tag from a note:

- Select a tag in the tags list, select one or more notes in the notes list and press the Delete key.

  iNotepad will show a dialog asking if you want to remove the selected tag from the notes or delete them permanently.

  Currently iNotepad will not allow notes deletion when more than one tag is selected.

- Choose View > Show Tags or click the Tags button on the toolbar.

  A tag bar will appear at the bottom of the note text showing all the tags assigned to the current note, if any.

  Select the tags that you want to remove and press the delete key.

You can have as many tags as you want in one iNotepad file.
