# Partner tags
> Learn how to organize, filter, and manage partners with tags in your partner program.
This feature is only available on [Business plans and
above](https://dub.co/pricing/partners).
Partner tags help you organize partners with flexible labels. You can use tags to track partner types, campaigns, outreach status, lifecycle stage, or any other internal classification that helps your team manage the program.
Unlike [partner groups](/help/article/partner-groups), tags do not control rewards, discounts, or referral link settings. Use groups for program configuration, and use tags for flexible organization and filtering.
Common examples include:
* **Source**: `YouTube`, `Newsletter`, `Agency`, or `Customer referral`
* **Status**: `Needs follow-up`, `Contract sent`, or `High intent`
* **Campaign**: `Q2 launch`, `Black Friday`, or `Webinar cohort`
* **Relationship**: `VIP`, `Strategic`, or `Community`
## Adding tags to partners
This can be done from either the partner table or the partner details view.
### Partner table
With the [tag column](/help/article/managing-program-partners#columns) enabled, click the **tag icon button** to add tags to a partner. This will open the modal view for all your created tags.
You can also bulk edit partner tags using the multi-select checkboxes on each partner row, then click **Update tags** at the top of the table.
### Partner details
In the partner details view, manage tags from the partner's profile side panel by clicking the **Add tag** or the **Manage** button.
### Tags modal
Both the partner table and partner details view will open the same tags modal, where you can manage all your tags in one place. Any changes you make here will update across the entire program.
From here, you can select any number of existing tags to assign to your partners. Learn more about [managing tags](/help/article/partner-tags#managing-tags).
## Managing tags
With the tags modal open, you'll be able to see all the tags that you've created and the number of partners assigned. Here you can create new tags, search, update, and delete existing tags.
### Adding new tags
To add a new tag, click into the text field and type the tag you'd like to create. If one already exists, you'll see the match below. If one doesn't exist, click **Create new tag** to create one.
This will create the tag and assign it to the partner you're currently editing. You can create as many tags as you'd like and assign multiple tags to a single partner.
### Updating tags
To update an existing tag, click the **Edit** option from the tag dropdown. This will open a text field where you can update the name of the tag. This will update the tag name for all partners assigned.
### Searching tags
Using the text field, search for the tag you're looking for. If there are any matches, you'll see them below. This is especially helpful for programs with a large number of tags.
### Deleting tags
To delete an existing tag, click the **Delete** option from the tag dropdown. This will remove the tag from all partners assigned, so be sure as this isn't reversible.
## Filtering partners by tags
Partner tags can be used alongside other partner filters such as group, status, and location. This makes it easier to segment your partner table for follow-up, reporting, and other workflows.
For example, you can filter for partners tagged `VIP` who are also in a specific [partner group](/help/article/partner-groups), or partners tagged `Needs follow-up` after an outreach campaign.
You can also use the same filtering when viewing your [program analytics](/help/article/program-analytics#filtering-your-data) and [commission analytics](/help/article/commission-analytics#filtering-commission-analytics).
