Overview

Tags and notes enable you to easily remember and classify content, as well as connect with people and related information in your organization.

You can add tags and notes to documents and pages on a SharePoint site, and even pages on the Internet, if you have access to the Internet in your organization. You can also write notes on your co-workers' profiles.

You can view your tags and notes on your profile, on other people's profiles that you have permission to view, and on the SharePoint pages that you have added tags or notes to. Find more information about working with notes and tags in the See Also section.

Tags

You can use an "I Like It" tag to help you keep track of content that you want to remember or share, as well as tags that describe the content.

As tags are collected over time, they are added to a list that some people call a "tag cloud," which can help you sort tags alphabetically and by how often you use them.

As you apply tags, you may be able to choose from a list of similar tags that your co-workers have applied. If you choose the suggested tags, it adds to the overall list of tags related to a subject.

You can view all of the tags that you have applied by visiting your My Site, as well as related content that people have added public tags to. You can also see the public tags that your colleagues have applied by visiting their profiles.

You can also receive updates in the Newsfeed of your My Site when your colleagues add tags to documents and pages. Also, if you are following a keyword as an interest, you can also receive an update when anyone applies that tag to content that you have permission to view.

Notes

Notes can help you point out interesting ideas or highlights in a document or on a page, as well as share thoughts directly with co-workers. For example, you might write a quick message to congratulate someone on a recent award, or connect with a colleague that you haven't seen in a while.

You can view all of the notes that you have written by visiting your My Site. You can view all the notes associated with a page by visiting the page. You can also see notes that your colleagues have written by visiting their profiles.

You can also receive updates in the Newsfeed of your My Site when your colleagues write notes about documents and pages, as well as write notes on other people's profiles.
