How do I add or remove a tag from a topic?
Tags are used to organize related topics. By default, instructors in the course can create tags, while any site participant can apply a tag to their new or existing topics. You can tag entire topics but not individual posts within topics.
If you haven't yet set up tags for your course, see How do I manage tags for my course in Conversations?.
Go to the Conversations tool.
Select the Conversations tool from the Tool Menu of your site.
Adding a tag to a new topic
