Tags

Cross-cutting labels for your work — “to review”, “methods”, “submitted” — that span every project and item type. Built to stay tidy, with one clean name per tag, easy merging, and AI that suggests labels you already use instead of inventing new ones.

What it does

Tags are a second way to organize. Where Projects answer “what effort does this belong to?”, Tags answer “what theme or status is this?” — across every project and every type of item. You can tag documents, uploaded PDFs, AI sessions, and research reports.

Click any tag to see everything carrying it, no matter which project or type it’s in.

Tags are designed to stay clean. Each tag has one tidy name, so “thesis draft”, “Thesis-Draft”, and “thesis_draft” all become the same single tag instead of three messy ones.

How to find it

• Open Tags from the sidebar to browse and manage your tags.
• To tag an item, use the tag chip on the item itself, or its info panel.
• A few starter tags are ready on first use: Draft, To review, Source, Submitted, and Important.

Keeping tags tidy

• One clean name — different spellings or capitalizations of the same label collapse into a single tag.
• Rename once, everywhere — rename a tag and it updates on everything it’s attached to.
• Merge — fold one tag into another, and everything moves over while the duplicate disappears.
• Smart suggestions — when Diglot suggests a tag, it reaches for ones you already use first, only proposing a brand-new tag when something is clearly different.

Limitations

• No nested tags (like a tag inside a tag) yet.
• Tags don’t have their own dedicated page yet.
• Saved searches or smart folders built from tags aren’t available yet.
• Shared tag vocabularies aren’t available yet.
• Certificates and notes can’t be tagged directly — they follow the document or source they belong to.

Common questions

How are Tags different from Projects? Projects are containers for one effort. Tags are labels for themes and statuses that can span many projects and item types.

I have two tags that mean the same thing — what do I do? Merge one into the other. Everything moves over and the duplicate goes away.

Will I end up with hundreds of messy tags? Unlikely. Diglot tidies up the names, merges duplicates, and reuses your existing tags instead of minting new ones.

Can I tag a PDF and a document with the same tag? Yes. Tags work across every type — that’s the whole point.

Where do I see everything with a tag? Click the tag to get a list of every item carrying it, labeled by type.
