# Add a course tag

You can add [tags](/18/docs/what-are-tags) to your course whilst creating or editing the settings for it. The instructions below focus on editing a course to avoid detailing the steps for creating a new course.

1. Go to the course you wish to add the tag(s) to.
2. From the **Administration** block go to *Course administration >* *Edit settings.*
3. Scroll down to the **Tags** section.
4. You can either:
  - Type a new or existing tag into the **Enter tags...** text-input box.
  - Click **Manage standard tags** which will give you the option to edit the **Default collection** (Site Administrators only).
5. Click **Save and display**.

If you are a Site Administrator then any tags you create will be 'standard' tags, meaning they can be used by anyone on the site.
