Subjects vs tags

Subjects are broad categories that organize content into main themes, like 'Audience' or 'Resources.'

Tags are specific keywords that provide more detail and help connect related content within those categories.

In this example 'Audience' is the subject and the tags are 'kids, teens, tweens, adults, etc.'

To assign or move tags to a new subject, click on the six small circles and drag them to the desired location.
