Applying & Creating Tags

PreviousConnecting Notes TogetherNext Your AI Assistant

Last updated 19 days ago

What are tags, and why are they important?

Tags are labels you attach to elements of your project (like characters, scenes, plot points, etc.). They help you:

  • Stay Organized: Quickly find and categorize your notes.

  • Get Better AI Assistance: The AI uses tags to understand the type of information in each note.

How do I add a tag?

When you create or edit a note, you'll see a field labeled "Tag."

  • You can choose one tag per note.

  • Tap into the field "tag: generic", to see a list of existing tags.

  • You can add your own tag, by navigating to the "tag" button on the bottom left of the screen.

    • Click the "+tag" button to create a new tag, then click "add" to save it.

    • When you click the "tag" button on the note again, you will see your newly created tag displayed in the list.

Tagging Tips:

  • Be Descriptive: Choose a tag that clearly indicates the content of the note.

  • Be Consistent: Create and use tags in a consistent manner across all of your notes.

  • Think Ahead: Consider what kinds of questions you might ask the AI about your project. Choose tags that will help the AI find the right information.

  • Examples of Useful Tags: While you can create your own, here are some ideas to get you started:

    • Protagonist, Antagonist, Mentor (for character roles)

    • Inciting Incident, Turning Point, Climax, Resolution (for plot structure)

    • Action Scene, Dialogue Scene, Exposition Scene (for scene types)

    • Backstory, Motivation, Relationship (for character details)

    • Location, Time Period (for setting details)

    • Act 1, Act 2A, Act2B, Act 3

Example:

For a scene titled "Rooftop Chase," some good tag choices might be:

  • Action Scene (if the focus is on the action)

  • Turning Point (if it's a crucial turning point in the plot)

  • Climax (if it's the climactic scene)

  • Act 2B

Key Takeaway:

Tags are a powerful tool for organizing your project and helping the AI assistant provide the best possible support. Choosing the right tag for each note will make a big difference!
