# Manage Tags
Tagging is a powerful workflow tool that speeds up material specification directly in the drawing space. It lets you tag walls, floors, roofs, glazing and shading with specific build-ups, and then copy those tags across similar elements. It’s a huge time-saver across every project.
You can create as many tags as you need for your project. We recommend giving each tag a clear, unique name that matches your drawing references, as these tags also appear in reporting.
## Create a Tag
To create a Tag, select the tag icon and click 'Add Tag'. Next, give your Tag a 'Title', Symbol' and 'Color'. Once you're done click 'Add' and then 'Save'.
## Specify a Tag
After creating a tag, it’s time to add a specification. Note, this example shows a wall but your tag could be used for any part of the building envelope or to distribute Spaces.
To Specify a Tag, navigate to the area you would like to use the tag. In this case, we choose Wall. Next, select the '+' icon and select your tag. Then, nominate the inputs related to the tag. In this case, it is wall specifications. Once you're done click 'Save'.
## Distribute a Tag
Now that your tag has a specification, you're ready to use it in the drawing space. Here’s how to apply it:
1. Head back to the drawing.
2. Click to select the aspect you want to tag. You can:
* **Left-click** to select individual Aspects or Zones.
* **Click and drag** to box-select multiple Aspects.
* **Hold Ctrl** while dragging to box-select Zones.
3. Once you’ve made your selection, press **Enter**.
4. A form will pop up showing all your tags. Choose the one you want, then click **Apply Tags**.
Need to make changes?
* Press **Delete** to remove tags from selected items.
* Press **Escape** to cancel your current selection.
## Save and Copy to ...
To Use ‘Save and Copy To ...’, select the aspect you want to copy from. In this case, we choose Wall. Next, click the ‘Save and Copy To’ option in the top right corner and select your tag. Then, choose where you'd like to apply it. In this case, we select all aspects. Once you're done, click ‘Save and Copy To \[#] Aspects’, then don’t forget to click ‘Save’.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.betterbuilding.io/user-guide/2d-building/drawing/manage-tags.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
