Labels

Overview

Labels are a flexible and lightweight way to categorize or decorate your topics. A topic can have as many labels as you like, or no labels at all.

Labeling topics can help you and your teammates quickly get a sense of what a topic is about. They can also help you find topics you're looking for because they're included when you filter a workspace or search for topics.

Step-by-step

Creating a label

To create a label, visit any topic's page or start creating a new topic and open the label picker dropdown by clicking + Labels. Type in the text for the new label. It will automatically be assigned a color and attached to the topic. You can change the color afterward by editing the label.

Labels can contain spaces, but we recommend keeping them short so they're quick to read and recognize.

Attaching/detaching labels

To attach or detach a label on a topic:

• While on the topic's page: Open the label picker dropdown by clicking + Labels, then click the label you want to attach or detach. You can attach as many labels as you want to the same topic.

• While in the workspace: Use Quick edit.

You can also attach labels to new topics as you're creating them from a workspace or via the dialog for creating new topics.

Editing or deleting a label

To edit or delete a label, visit any topic's page or start creating a new topic and open the label picker dropdown by clicking + Labels, then click the pencil icon next to the label. A dialog will open where you can delete the label or edit its text or color.

When you delete a label, it won't be available to attach to topics going forward. However, it will remain attached to topics it was already attached to. That way, you can still filter and search for those topics by label.
