How do I create, edit, and archive tags?

Tags track what fills your days: activities, places, people, anything. Create them in Settings > Check-in > Tags or straight from a check-in. You can have up to 50 tags in 18 colors.

1In a check-in, open the tags step and tap Edit Tags. Or open Settings > Check-in > Tags.
2Tap Create Tag.
3Enter a name (3 to 30 characters), pick a color, and tap Save.

To edit a tag, tap it in Settings > Check-in > Tags, or touch and hold it in a check-in.

Archive: turn on Archived. The tag disappears from check-ins and new statistics, but stays on past entries. Find it again under Settings > Check-in > Tags > Archive.
Delete: tap Delete. This removes the tag from every entry and cannot be undone.
On iPhone you can also swipe a tag right to archive it or left to delete it.

Archived tags count toward the 50-tag limit. Delete tags you will never need again to free up space.
