Tags help with discovery. Use file tags with a file folder structure or as an alternative method for browsing large files lists within a dataset. For example, if you tagged a subset of image or video files with the term ‘color corrected’ a user could use that search term in the files search box to limit just those data files that were limited. Provide instructions either in the readme file or in the dataset description letting users know how to use the search box with tags.
Add file tags during upload using the user interface

While uploading your file select the three-dot drop-down and choose ‘Tags.' under Edit Options.

You can select one or more previously used tags your dataset has from the File Tags dropdown menu. Selected tags will display above the dropdown as you add them.
