Tag Management: A closer look at the newest update on HackMD

The latest product update is here! 📄

This feature empowers users to build a robust and clean organizational system, whether they prefer using tags, folders, or a combination of both.

Stay Organized with Tag Management

Keeping your notes tidy just got easier. With our new Tag Management update, HackMD gives you more control, speed, and clarity in how you organize your workspace.

Whether you’re managing a handful of notes or hundreds across multiple projects, these improvements are designed to cut down the time you spend searching and give you more time to focus on what matters.

Centralized Tag Control

No more clicking into individual notes to rename or remove a tag.

With centralized tag control, you can now:

• Create new tags
• Rename existing ones
• Delete old or unused tags

All directly from the tag list in your Overview sidebar. Your entire tag system is now at your fingertips, in one convenient place.

Effortless Efficiency with Bulk Tagging

The real game-changer: bulk tagging.

Select multiple notes at once and add or remove tags in a single action. What used to take minutes now takes seconds.

This is the feature that transforms tagging from a tedious task into a quick, satisfying step in your workflow. Organize entire projects or categories with just a few clicks and move on with your day.

A Smarter Way to Work: Folders + Tags

Tags aren’t just labels; they’re part of a more innovative methodology for knowledge management.

Here’s our recommended workflow:

1. Use folders to group notes for a specific project.
2. Use tags to categorize notes by type or theme across projects, such as product spec, post-mortem, or meeting minutes.

This simple system creates order across your workspace, regardless of the number of projects you’re juggling.

Of course, the flexibility is yours, we invite you to find the system that works best for you.

Enhancing HackMD for you

At HackMD, we believe the little things make a big difference in your workflow.

Tag Management adds that extra layer of seamless collaboration, making it easier to stay organized and access what you need, when you need it. At the end of the day, this update is about more than tags, it’s about focus. A cleaner workspace means less time wasted hunting for notes and more time spent achieving your goals.

We’re continuing to build tools that empower you to create, edit, and collaborate with confidence and ease.
