Last quarter we sat down, took a big sip of coffee, and pulled up the go/backlog (our GoLinks product backlog on Jira). As we scrolled through the rows of user stories, feature ideas, customer requests, bugs, and Skittle-colored labels, there was one item we kept coming back to: Tags.

Grouping or tagging of golinks has been the #1 feature requested by our users (with personal GoLinks accounts in a close second 👀). We’re happy to announce that tags are now live and in your hands to start using—tag, you’re it.

A rundown on tags

Tags will allow you and your team to surface golinks that are related to one another. You can tag a golink with roles, departments, functions, app suites, or any other categorizations you can think of.

Example of golinks with tags

New team members can easily discover resources related to their job function and seasoned employees may uncover resource gems they forgot existed.

Using tags

Adding tags from the get-go is super simple. During golink creation, you will be able to explore tags from the drop-down list of popular ones or begin entering characters to see if there are existing tags that match those criteria. You’ll always have the option to create a brand new tag as you see fit.

Adding tags while creating a new golink

Just like the golink name, tags can be any Unicode character. So whether it’s “design,” “設計,” “hönnun,” or “التصميم,” we’ve got you covered.

The tags of each golink will appear below the golink description on your dashboard. You can click on these tags to see all other golinks that share this tag.

You may also search for tags using the search bar on your dashboard. Tags are denoted by the 🏷 icon next to it.

Search result dropdown with new tags category

You will also be able to retroactively add and remove tags to existing golinks. To do so, simply click on the drawer icon—which looks like three dots—and click on edit golink. You’ll be able to make any changes here.
