Labels help keep related pages together, for reference by the page owners and to help other users of the site. This page includes the following topics:
Add a label to a page
- Using the Labels option that follows the editing window, enter the label or labels in the text box.
- Click Done.
You can enter any text you want for a label. To separate words, use the underline character, for example: separate_words. Labels are all lowercase.
Global and personal labels
- To add a label, type the label and click Add or select the label.
- Note that personal labels in the form my:label are deprecated and will be removed from Confluence.
Remove a label
- Click the link to edit the label and click the link or icon to remove it.

If you have the needed permissions, you can add a label to a space. If you do not have these permissions (can't see the links described in these steps), and want a space label, ask an administrator.
- Select Browse Space Admin.
- Select Space Labels.
- In the Labels area, type the label and click Add, or select a label.
Add a category label
You can add a Category label to a space, to associate all the spaces associated with that category.

To add a Category label

Display a list of content with a particular label

- Select Browse Labels to display a list of content with that label.
Display lists of available labels and content with those labels
- Select Browse Space Admin and then click the Labels tab to see all the labels for a space. The All Labels or Popular Labels view opens depending on your last visit. Lists of the most Recent Labels and Popular Labels are provided, with a "tag cloud" view of the most often used (popular) labels that may be sorted alphabetically or by popularity.
- Select All labels to view an alphabetical list of all labels in the space.
- Select the link to view the labels from all spaces to view an alphabetical list of all labels in use on the site.
- Select a label to list all content in the space with that label and any existing *Related Labels (that frequently appear on pages together).
- If you are in a page that has a label or labels, click a label to go to the Label area of the Browse Space view where all content in the space with the label you clicked will be listed.
- Click the link See content from all spaces to view all content on the site with the same label.
Display content with particular labels
You can display lists of content that is labeled with a particular label by using the contentbylabel macro.
The related-labels macro lists all the pages with the same label or labels as the page with the Related Labels macro.
Other label macros also help find content with particular labels as explained by Confluence.
