Although you can start writing as soon as you create the note, it is recommended that you give the note a title to make it easier to find in the future.

You can [manage title and tags in a note's edit mode](#Add-or-edit-the-title). Also, [manage tags in the workspace's overview page](#Manage-tags-in-note-editing-mode) is available.

# Add or edit the title
>[!Note]The default title is "Untitled"
>HackMD will automatically take the first 30 characters as the title, which might remind you what the note is about.

### 1. Click the navigation bar

To add or edit the note title, just click on the title on the navigation bar.


### 2. Edit title with note setting

Or you can click on the <i class="fa fa-info-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i> icon, which brings up **Note settings**.
