# Add hashtags

You can add site-wide [tags](/totara-20/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 **Y****our workspaces** in the main menu*.*
2. Select the workspace you wish to assign a hashtag.
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 **Your library** in the main menu.
2. Click **Create**, then select **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.

## Manage hashtags (Site Administrators only)

You can manage hashtags by following these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access > Appearance > Manage tags.*
2. Click on the **Hashtag** collection.
