# Add tags from site administration

From the site administration area you can add standard [tags](/17/docs/what-are-tags) and Totara Engage [topics](/17/docs/what-are-topics).

To add new tags from the **Manage tags** administration page, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Appearance > Manage tags.*
2. Select a collection (if you don't wish to add tags to a specific collection just use the **Default collection**).
3. Click the **Add standard tags** link.
4. Enter a comma-separated list of new tags (you can add one or more tags).
5. Click **Continue** to add the tag(s).

Follow the process above, but select the **Topic** collection to add new topics to Totara Engage.
