3. … a drop-down menu becomes visible in which all the tags are shown that have this letter or letter combination.

If you do not already have a tag in your list, you can type your tag and hit the Enter key to transform it into a tag. It will be added to your list of tags once the page is saved.

If you use the tag “profile”, the tagged artefact or page is added to your profile sideblock as a shortcut.

Click a tag on the page to view the content to which you have access

Click a tag underneath the page heading or on any artefact that you can see on the page to be taken to the page where all tagged content is displayed that you can view based on your permissions.

1. The page heading tells you that you are viewing the content of the portfolio owner.

   Notitie

2. You see the tag that you selected.

3. You can filter according to content types.

   Notitie

   If the portfolio owner shared more than one portfolio with you in which the tag was used, you see that content as well.
