Tags On Guides Explained (New Hub)

Tags let you push content to many guidebooks at once. They're optional — useful mainly when managing multiple properties and you want to distribute content efficiently without adding guidebooks one by one.

In the new Hub, tags are found in the Account library → Tags section.


How tags work

The concept is straightforward:

  1. You create a tag (e.g. "Beach properties")

  2. You assign the tag to guidebooks (e.g. your three beach rental guidebooks)

  3. You apply the tag to topics via each topic's Visibility tab

  4. Every guidebook carrying that tag automatically receives those topics

When you update a tagged topic, the change flows to every guidebook associated with that tag. When you add a new guidebook to a tag, it automatically picks up all the content linked to that tag.


Two types of tags

The new Hub has two types of tags:

Tag type

What it is

How it's created

Guidebook tag

A tag automatically created for each guidebook, named after the guidebook itself. Used for simple guidebook-specific content assignment.

Automatically created when a new guidebook is created. Auto-deleted when the last guidebook removes it.

Regular tag

A reusable tag you create yourself to group and distribute content across multiple guidebooks.

Manually created by you in the Account library → Tags.

💡 Tip: You don't need to think about guidebook tags day-to-day. They're created and managed automatically behind the scenes. Regular tags are the ones you'll create when you want to share content across properties.


Where to find tags

Tags appear in two places:

1. Account library → Tags tab

This is your central tag management view. Here you can see:

  • Every tag in your account

  • Which guidebooks are assigned to each tag

  • The total guidebook count per tag

2. Guidebook Content tab → Tags bar

At the top of each guidebook's content screen, a tags bar shows:

  • The guidebook's own tag — visually distinct and non-removable (locked)

  • Any shared tags currently active on this guidebook — displayed as removable chips with an (✕) button

Clicking (✕) on a shared tag opens a confirmation showing which content will be hidden from this guidebook if the tag is removed. This is a soft removal — the relationship is preserved and you can re-activate the tag later.


Create a tag

  1. Open Account library → Tags.

  2. Click Create new tag.

  3. Give it a name (e.g. "Beach properties", "Kitchen hardware", "London attractions").

  4. Save.

  5. Apply it to topics via each topic's Visibility tab.

💡 Naming tip: Choose tag names that describe the content group or property type, not individual guidebook names. This makes tags more reusable as you grow. For example:

  • ✅ "Kitchen appliances" — reusable across any property with a kitchen

  • ❌ "Beach Retreat Villa stuff" — too specific to be useful on other guidebooks


Apply a tag to a topic

  1. Open the topic — either from the Guidebook Content tab or the Account library → Content Hub.

  2. Select the Visibility tab.

  3. Under Tags, check the tags you want applied to this topic.

  4. The guidebook list updates in real time to show which guidebooks will receive this topic based on the selected tags.

  5. Click Save.

You can apply multiple tags to a single topic. The topic will appear in every guidebook that carries any of those tags.

Assign a tag to a guidebook

When you create a tag, you assign it to the guidebooks that should receive content linked to that tag. You can manage this from:

  • Account library → Tags — click on a tag to see and edit its guidebook assignments

  • Guidebook Content tab → Tags bar — shared tags active on this guidebook are shown as chips


Remove a tag from a guidebook

You can remove a shared tag from a guidebook without deleting the tag itself:

  1. In the Guidebook Content tab, find the tag chip in the tags bar at the top.

  2. Click the (✕) on the tag chip.

  3. A confirmation modal appears listing which content will be hidden from this guidebook.

  4. Confirm to remove, or cancel to keep things as they are.

The tag is deactivated for this guidebook only — the tag still exists, and the content remains available to other guidebooks that carry it. You can re-add the tag at any time.


Only topics can have tags

Tags are applied to topics only. Categories and subcategories cannot be tagged — they don't hold content (text or media) and are used purely for organising your topics in the guidebook menu.


Do I need tags?

It depends on your setup:

Your situation

Do you need tags?

One guidebook

No. Your guidebook tag is created automatically. You can manage everything from the Guidebook Content tab.

Two guidebooks with mostly different content

Probably not. Use direct guidebook assignment on the Visibility tab instead.

Multiple guidebooks with shared content (e.g. same local area, same house rules)

Yes. Tags let you distribute and update content across many guidebooks at once without managing them individually.

Many guidebooks across different locations or property types

Definitely. Create tags by location, property type or content theme to keep things organised.

Tags are a power tool — they're there when you need them but won't get in your way if you don't.


A practical example

You manage five properties — three near the beach and two in the mountains.

  1. You create two tags: "Beach properties" and "Mountain properties".

  2. You assign your three beach guidebooks to the "Beach properties" tag and your two mountain guidebooks to the "Mountain properties" tag.

  3. You create a topic called "Best beach walks" and apply the "Beach properties" tag on its Visibility tab. It appears in all three beach guidebooks automatically.

  4. Later, you update the walking routes. You edit the topic once in the Content Hub — the change appears in all three beach guidebooks instantly.

  5. You add a sixth property — another beach rental. You assign the "Beach properties" tag to the new guidebook. It immediately picks up "Best beach walks" and all other beach-tagged content. No manual copying needed.


What's different from the legacy Hub?

Legacy Hub

New Hub

Tags were the primary way to organise and distribute content — required even for single-guidebook accounts

Tags are optional — only needed when distributing content across multiple guidebooks

Every topic needed at least one tag to appear in a guidebook

Topics can be assigned directly to guidebooks via the Visibility tab without using tags

Tag management spread across Content Hub and individual guide settings

All tags managed centrally in Account library → Tags

No visual indicator of active tags on a guidebook

Tags bar at the top of the Guidebook Content tab shows active tags as removable chips

Removing a tag required navigating into topic settings

Remove a tag chip directly from the Guidebook Content tab with one click
