Better bulk tag management

[lindsey (Lindsey Fogle)]

Staff can now manage all tag operations on selected topics from a single Manage Tags modal, replacing the three separate Add Tags, Replace Tags, and Remove Tags options that previously cluttered the bulk actions menu.

In this topic, we’ll review the major changes and share how you can start using this today.

What’s changed

The bulk actions menu, available when selecting topics in a topic list, now shows a single Manage Tags button in place of the previous three separate tag options.

In the modal, staff can:

• Remove tags — select one or more tags to remove wherever they appear across selected topics, or use the Remove all tags toggle to clear all tags

• Add tags — select one or more tags to add to all selected topics

• Replace tags — select a tag that, when present on the selected topics, should be replaced with another selected tag.

What do you think?

Over to you: we’d love to hear what you think of this new feature. What do you like and dislike; what is working well, and what could be improved?

can we please get the tag info button back

Where did the tag info button go?

There used to be a button next to the new topic button on the topic list filtered for a tag. But I can no longer find it. [image] I can only see the wrench when I am admin. Where do I find the description and information on usage as a user now? I know there is the tag banner component, but that doesn’t provide information on usage like the button did (and obviously I cannot install it to get the information)

I think the way this is displayed in the topic’s revision history needs to be improved. Currently, it’s not clear when the change was made.

Here is the latest revision of the topic before the change: Almost a year ago I added the normaland the trackedtag.

So today I used bulk select to select that topic

And removed the how-to tag from that topic

I expected a new revision with the recent change to be created. But instead this was added to the revision from about a year ago

And it’s even more confusing that the same also happens when I was not the last one who edited the topic. Here it looks like tester removed the how-to tag. But it was me using the bulk action. This makes it very difficult to determine who is responsible for an edit.
