| What is Import Tags? |
|---|
| Import Tags is the bulk upload of Predefined User Tags or Predefined Moderator Tags into a Community or Campaign using an Excel file. |
Import Tags supports bulk importing of Predefined User Tags and Predefined Moderator Tags at both the Community and Campaign levels. To ensure a successful import, the Excel sheet must be formatted so that all tags are listed in the first column, with each row containing only one tag.
Note: Tags may consist of a single word or multiple hyphen-separated words. See Exceptions below for how multi-word tags are handled during import.
