Changing group tags - 137 views

groups tags change
  • Marielle Palombo
     
    I would like to change a group tag. I know how to change a tag in my own library, but I can't find a parallel function in a group tag library. Using the revise tags function, I can batch add a new tag, but I don't see how to batch delete the old one. I can change the tag in the group tag dictionary going forward, but I want to change all previously tagged items, too. (I asked about this in another thread a couple of months ago, but no one replied.)

    I don't want to delete the bookmarks, just the tags. For example, if I wanted to change a group tag from "blogging" to "blogs," I could batch add "blogs" as a tag to all bookmarks currently tagged "blogging," but then I couldn't delete the "blogging" tag from all of those bookmarks at once. I can delete it from each one individually, but that takes too much time. If I follow the steps you listed, I'd be deleting the whole list of bookmarks rather than a single tag. I like being able to globally edit/change a tag in my personal library, and would like the same functionality in groups. Does that make sense?

    I don't seem to be communicating successfully. I know how to delete a tag from the group tag dictionary, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I am trying to change the name of a tag on already tagged items in a group. Whether through a tag cloud or through any other means, I just want the ability to change an existing tag globally across a set of group bookmarks. I still see no way of doing this. If I could delete a tag from a group of bookmarks using the "revise tags" feature, that would be fine, but I can't. I can add a tag to a set of bookmarks, but I can't delete a tag from a set of bookmarks. I can replace all tags with a new set, but I don't want to do that either. I just want to replace ONE tag with another on a selected set of bookmarks. Or, put another way, I want to edit a tag globally, in all instances that tag appears within a group. The tag cloud feature might be the more logical way to do that. If so, PLEASE bring it back!

    Following the above directions still does not solve the problem I'm describing. Deleting the tag in the tag dictionary does not delete it from all the items that have been previously tagged, but only prevents it from appearing in the suggested tag list in the future. This makes organizing a dynamic set of group tags more difficult. If there were a third option in the "revise tags" box that says "Delete tag from selected items," that would work. Might that be added?

    Yes, we have been using the tag dictionary feature and found it useful, although the tag limit is somewhat constraining. The issue is that we'd like to change one of those standard dictionary tags retroactively (for all previously tagged items) as well as for future bookmarks.

    What if I want to change a group tag, as from "case" to "casestudies"? Following your instructions above, I can batch add the new tag, but I don't see how to delete the old one. I know how to change a tag in my own library, but I can't find a parallel function in a group tag library. I can change the tag in the group tag dictionary going forward, but I want to change all previously tagged items, too.

    I'm looking for a list of permissions granted to group members with different roles and have not been able to find one (having searched this forum as well as the diigo help). I'm managing a new group and accidentally gave away my ownership of a group, without realizing that a group could only have one owner. (This seems problematic. I assume I can get it back by asking the other person to do what I did, but she's not available right now.) Is there an explanation of what each role can do somewhere? Thanks.
