Tag Style Templates
Visual organization for tags
Define reusable visual styles for tags — CSS class, display order, and optional color. Use styles to categorize tags by appearance (e.g., "genre: red", "mood: blue") and control their sort order.

- System styles for "used" and "path" tags
📋
Bulk Application

Tag Aliases
Alternate names for your tags
Define aliases for your tags — when you add a tag that matches an alias, it automatically resolves to the canonical tag. Useful for handling misspellings, abbreviations, and alternate naming conventions.

- Warnings prevent accidental duplicates when an entity already has the canonical tag
⚙️
