# Tags, favorites and ratings

*Label items with tags, mark favorites with a heart, rate them with stars, and filter by all three.*

Online version: https://promptmason.ai/docs/tags-favorites-ratings

Tags, favorites and ratings are three ways to mark your blocks, prompts and documents so you can find them again:

- **Tags** are labels you make up, such as "sales" or "draft". An item can have as many as you like.
- **Favorites** are items you've marked with a heart.
- **Ratings** are one to five stars.

Tags are part of the **Tags** feature, and favorites and ratings are part of the **Favorites & ratings** feature. If you don't see them, click **Settings** in the sidebar, then **Features**, and turn them on. Turning a feature off hides it but keeps your tags, hearts and stars. See [Show or hide features](https://promptmason.ai/docs/features).

## Add tags

You add tags while you create or edit an item, in the **Tags** box in its **Properties** panel:

- **A block:** on the **Blocks** screen, while creating or editing it.
- **A Static prompt:** on the **Prompts** screen, while creating or editing it.
- **A Dynamic prompt or a document:** on the **Build** screen.

1. Click in the **Tags** box.
2. Type a tag.
3. Press Enter or type a comma. The tag becomes a chip.
4. Add more tags the same way.
5. Save the item: the disk icon on **Blocks** and **Prompts**; on **Build**, **Save as Dynamic**, **Save as Static**, **Update Prompt** or **Apply** (for a document, **Save**, **Update** or **Apply**). Ctrl+S works on all three screens.

As you type, up to six tags you already use appear under the box. Click one, or use the Up and Down arrow keys and Enter, to add it. Using the suggestions keeps your tags consistent: tags are case-sensitive, so "Sales" and "sales" are two different tags.

To take a tag off, click the X on its chip, or press Backspace in the empty box to remove the last one. Then save the item.

Tags are saved with the item, so changes to them are kept only when you save.

## Where tags show

- A colored dot and the tag's name on tiles. Each tag always has the same color.
- Badges under the item's name when you open it.
- The **Tags** line when you point to a row in List view.
- The **Tags** list in the sidebar, which lists every tag in use, A to Z.

Searching for a tag's name finds the items that have it. See [Find anything](https://promptmason.ai/docs/search).

## Filter by tag

Use the **Tags** list in the sidebar. It filters **Blocks**, **Prompts** and **Explorer**, and the list of blocks on the **Build** screen.

- **Click a tag** to show only items with that tag (this replaces any other tags you selected). Click it again to clear it.
- **Ctrl+click** more tags to add them. Items with any of the selected tags show.
- Ctrl+click a selected tag to take it out of the filter.

A bar above the list reads **Filtered to tags:** with a chip for each tag. Click the X on a chip to take that tag off, or click **Clear filters** in the toolbar to clear every filter.

A tag filter works together with a folder filter: you see items in the folder that have the tag.

Click the arrow next to **Tags** to fold the list away.

## Delete a tag everywhere

Deleting a tag takes it off every block and prompt that has it, archived ones included. **This can't be undone.**

1. In the sidebar's **Tags** list, point to the tag.
2. Click the trash icon that appears.
3. Read how many items have the tag, for example **This will remove the tag from 5 items (3 blocks, 2 prompts). This can't be undone.**
4. Click **Delete Permanently**.

There's no separate list of tags to manage: a tag exists while at least one item has it. The sidebar lists only tags on items that aren't archived.

## Mark a favorite

Click the heart on any block, prompt or document. The heart fills in. Click it again to take it off. You'll find the heart:

- on its tile,
- in the **Fav** column in List view,
- under its name when you open it,
- on the **Archive** screen's **Archived** tab.

You can also right-click an item and click **Add to favorites** or **Remove from favorites**.

Your favorites show in the **Favorites** widget on [Home](https://promptmason.ai/docs/home#favorites).

## Rate an item

Click a star: the first star for one star, the fifth for five. Click the same star again to clear the rating. The stars are in the same places as the heart, except that in List view they have their own **Rating** column. They're also in the right-click menu under **Rating**.

Hearts and stars are saved as soon as you click. They don't change an item's **Last modified** date and don't add a version.

If your personal library syncs to your other PCs, your hearts and stars are the same on all of them ([more](https://promptmason.ai/docs/second-pc#what-your-other-pcs-get)).

When you open a Dynamic prompt on the **Prompts** screen, **Blocks avg** next to its stars shows the average of your ratings for the blocks it uses, and how many of them are rated, for example "(3 of 5 rated)". Unrated blocks aren't counted.

## Filter by favorite or rating

Use **Favorites & Rating** in the sidebar. It filters **Blocks**, **Prompts**, **Explorer**, the **Archived** tab of the Archive screen, and the list of blocks on the **Build** screen.

- Click **Favorites** to show only favorites. Click it again to show everything.
- Click a star to show items rated that many stars or more. **& up** appears next to the stars. Click the same star again to clear it.

The first time you filter by stars, the list switches to sort by rating, highest first. You can change the sort back.

You can also sort by **Fav** or **Rating**, and filter the **Rating** column to values such as **Unrated** or **4 stars**. See [Find anything](https://promptmason.ai/docs/search#sort-a-list).

## In a team library

- Your stars are your own. Next to them, **Team:** shows the average rating from everyone in the library and how many people rated it, for example **Team: 4.0 (3)**, or **Team: not rated yet**. Point to it to see who rated it.
- Your favorites are your own. They follow you to each of your PCs in the library, and nobody else sees them.
- Members who can only view a team library can still rate its items and mark them as favorites.
- Tags are part of the item, so everyone in the library sees them. Only members who can edit can change them.

See [Team libraries](https://promptmason.ai/docs/team-libraries).

## When your library is paused

If your library is paused (you're on the Free plan with more than 25 blocks or 15 prompts, for example after your 14 days of Pro end), you can't change hearts, stars or tags until you're back within the limits. See [When your library is paused](https://promptmason.ai/docs/paused-library).
