Tagging articles allows you to mark a group of articles for easy access. Tagged articles are the most instantly accessible articles at any given time. The list of currently tagged articles is referred to as the Tag List.  
 
You may want to tag your most commonly used articles to make them permanently easy to find. You may want to tag outstanding to-do items. You may want to use tags to mark articles related to a current project. Or you can use tags to temporarily mark items for printing, searching, or exporting. This is a very flexible feature.  
 
Many commands can use the current Tag List to specify a range of articles or can combine tags with other criteria to get a list of articles. These commands include Print, Export, Find, Replace, and Build Query.  
 
To tag an article, see Tagging an Article. To remove a tag or all article tags, see Untagging an Article.  
 
If an article is tagged, a tag icon appears next to its title in the Titles column of the Index Window, and a tag appears in the upper right corner of its Article Window.  
 
You can view the list of tagged articles in the Index Window at any time by clicking the Show Tagged Articles button on the Standard Toolbar or by selecting the Show Tagged Titles Command (Article Menu). To make the Tag List the default list in the Titles column of the Index Window, see Changing the Titles Displayed at Startup.
