Tags - Categories

Known Limitations

We are aware of a few limitations with Tag Categories, which we intend to address with future updates:

  • Tag Categories do not appear in other sections of Plottr when, for example, a Tag is linked to a Character
  • In other sections of Plottr, Tags are organized alphabetically independent of their category
  • Colors currently cannot be automatically assigned to all Tags within a Category
