# Add hashtags

When using Totara Engage, you can add site-wide [tags](/17/docs/what-are-tags) as hashtags whilst creating or editing a workspace discussion or resource. Any user can add a site-wide hashtag, but only Site Administrators will be able to manage these site-wide hashtags.

## From a workspace

1. Go to *Collaborate > Your workspaces.*
2. Select the workspace you wish to enter the hashtag on.
3. Enter the hashtag you want into the body of a discussion e.g. #important.
4. Click **Post**.

As you type any existing standard tags will be suggested to you. Then when you post the discussion the hashtags will become site-wide.

## From a resource

1. Go to *Learn > Your library.*
2. Click the plus icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/plus_circle.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T17%3A39%3A06Z&se=2026-11-10T18%3A39%3A06Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GzVi4YvWi7FSlRG%2BR6y%2F5B0SQEgdrLhBez6Guix46Ec%3D)) alongside **Your resources** to add a new resource.
3. Enter the hashtag you want into the body of the resource e.g. #important.
4. Click **Next**.
5. Decide who can see the resource.
6. Click **Done**.

As you type any existing standard tags will be suggested to you. Then when you add the resource the hashtags will become site-wide.
