Unlink external tags in the Tags library

You can sync files with tags to your Files library via a Showpad App connector or integration with a cloud storage service such as SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, or the Content API. This allows you to have all your content and tags available in your Showpad Library.

To keep your external content management system (CMS) as your single source of truth, tags synced to Showpad are not editable. The option to unlink a file or tag allows you to unlink it from its original synced storage so you can delete or edit it as necessary.
