Usings tags (EndNote 21 only)

Tags are a new feature in EndNote 21 and provide an extra option for organising and classifying your references. Coloured tags can be added to references as a visual label to quickly and intuitively identify references in your library under a collective heading. You can attach multiple tags to references, customise the colour and name of the tags, and add and remove tags as you require.

To create a tag, click on the + sign next to My Tags in the left hand menu.
