How do I view and manage tags in Canvas Catalog?

In Canvas Catalog, tags can be used to create categories for user searches. As an admin, you can add tags when when you create course or program listings. You can also view and manage tags in the Tags tab.

Subcatalog admins can add and manage tags unless tagging permissions have been disabled for their account. Learn more about managing subcatalog admin permissions.

Notes: 

  • When tagging permissions are enabled, subcatalog admins can view and manage all tags in the institution's account.
  • If the Tags tab does not display, tagging permissions have been disabled for your account.
