Changes to Labels and Tags

[AdamB]

Hello Seller Community! 👋

We are in the process of updating labels and tags used within the Community so they make better use of both features. The way they should work is like this:

Tags: Just like in social media, tags tell you what the subject of a post is about. These will include most Square products and services plus a few other things.

Labels: These categorize the style, intent, or purpose of a thread. 

To put this in a real-world example, if you wrote up a how-to guide on doing something in Square Online, you would tag it Square Online and label it Tutorials & Guides.

Note: These updates mean we will be removing a lot of existing labels. If you edit a post which has a now non-existent label, you’ll get a red warning message that the label doesn’t exist. To fix that, simply delete it from the list of labels added to the thread.

This is a great update, @AdamB! I'm sure it will make searching the seller community for answers or guidance a whole lot easier!

Thanks! Eventually I'd like to be able to utilize the API of our platform so you can use both of them together, e.g. on the tag page for Square Online filter by things that are also labeled Tutorials & Guides.
