What's in it for you
As you build out your content structure in Showpad you may encounter a need to edit your tags. There may be lots of reasons such as adding additional spelling variations, introducing new descriptions to assets, or taking into account the case-sensitivity of tags. The goal is to facilitate a quick way for you to make the changes you need without disrupting the user's experience or creating more work for yourself in the long-term. Because these tags may be affiliated with current assets, it's important that you are able to edit tags without affecting your existing content structure. By providing two ways to manage tags, you can easily make modifications to your content configuration.
