What are tags? 

Tags are unique identifiers that allow users to label records and help simplify sorting. Users can create and access tags for any of their records— Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Email templates and Files 

You can create and use two types of tags:

• Custom tags: These are the tags that can be created by users while adding a tag to a record. To learn how to add and use a custom tag on a record, refer to this article.
  
  

• Default tags: Tags created from within the Tag settings page are referred to as Default tags and can be identified by the Default label. These tags show up as suggestions whenever users try to add tags to contacts, accounts, deals, emails and files. 
  
  

Note: To limit the visibility of tags created by users to only themselves, turn on the 'Enable private suggestions' toggle. This ensures that users do not view tags that are created by others as a part of their tag suggestions.
