There needs to be a view tags permission added. We have users who are making tags based on TAs, and without add/delete/manage enabled for that role, they can't see the tags. Is this something we can get added? We're looking at providing at least one ...

We have tags turned on now from the feature preview. I was in EAP earlier and it either didn't act this way or I didn't notice since I only had it turned on for a special testing subaccount.   I can't see the tag interface on a course site unless I a...

Hi @SamGarza1 , I hope this is not an intended change to the People page with Differentiation Tags. Once it is enabled, the Sections filter disappears from the People page. I captured this in a pair of screenshots of the same course. In the first ima...

I think there's a lot of potential for this in our larger courses, especially as a way to help randomize dividing/assigning students to TAs in the big, online courses (like a TA is randomly assigned to grade 50 students of the 300 in the course). I c...

Love the differentiation tags.  Great new idea.  It would be really helpful as an instructor if we could see the tags in the gradebook.  Could we have an option to turn them on, similar to the "notes" column?
