If you want to add a tag to some journalists, follow these short instructions: 1\. Go to **Contacts** \> **My Contacts** in the main navigation menu 2\. Find journalists you want to tag, for example, with the help of the search bar 3\. Select them and then click the **Add tags** button located over your database 4\. In the **Add tag** window, check existing tags that should indicate selected contacts or create a new tag ![my contacts add tags](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Contacts/my%20contacts%20add%20tags.png?width=688&name=my%20contacts%20add%20tags.png) Under the **More actions** button, located next to the **Add tags** button, you can find the **Remove tags** option. It deletes tags from chosen contacts but does not delete tags permanently from your database. ### Verify tags You can verify a particular contact's details on his dedicated card. Find a journalist in your database, click on the name, and scroll all the way down to the **Tag** section. Here you can both select new tags and remove old ones with the X icon.  ![my contacts contact details left card](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Contacts/my%20contacts%20contact%20details%20left%20card.png?width=329&name=my%20contacts%20contact%20details%20left%20card.png)   ### Set and change color labels Besides editing tag names and colors, you can also set the label for particular colors. Click on the cogwheel in the upper right corner of the screen and click on **Manage tags:** ![manage tags](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Contacts/manage%20tags.png?width=688&height=257&name=manage%20tags.png) All tags are listed in the **Name** column. After setting labels for particular colors, they will appear in the column called **Color**: ![](https://help.prowly.com/hubfs/editcolorslabelsforthetags.png) Above the tags database, you can find the **Edit Colors** button, which will allow you to change labels for all colors available in Prowly: ![](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/editlabels.png?width=588&name=editlabels.png) To change the color of a specific tag, click on the Edit icon next to it in the list of tags. You can also change the tag's name there: ![tags edit](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Contacts/tags%20edit.png?width=688&height=170&name=tags%20edit.png) ### Merge different tags What about merging different tags into one? Just follow these short instructions: ![my contacts tags merge tags](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Contacts/my%20contacts%20tags%20merge%20tags.png?width=688&name=my%20contacts%20tags%20merge%20tags.png) 1. Go to **Contacts** \> **My contacts \> Manage tags** or **Settings** -\> **Manage tags** 2. Check the tags you want to merge by clicking the boxes next to their names (name of the first chosen tag will become the name of the new tag) 3. Then, click the **Merge** button located above the table 4. In the field, provide the number of tags you are going to merge 5. Confirm the action with the **Merge** button All selected tags are now merged under one tag. You can find and edit the tag name with the pencil icon located on the right side of the table if the current name does not ideally reflect the actual scope of contacts. ### Filtering tags In the tags manager, you can filter your tags using the following properties: - contacts - show only the tags, which are assigned to a specific number of contacts, - clippings - show only the tags, which are assigned to a specific number of clippings in Reporting module, - color - show only the tags with a specific, chosen color. ![tags filter](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Contacts/tags%20filter.png?width=688&height=336&name=tags%20filter.png)   - [Write press releases](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to creating press releases with Prowly](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#guide-to-creating-press-releases-with-prowly) - [Writing and enriching press releases](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#writing-and-enriching-press-releases) - [Changing press release settings](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#changing-press-release-settings) - [Optimize newsroom](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Newsroom configuration](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#newsroom-configuration) - [Adding and managing newsroom content](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#adding-and-managing-newsroom-content) - [Storing files and visuals](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#storing-files-and-visuals) - [Manage contacts](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Using PR CRM](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#using-pr-crm) - [Managing contacts](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#managing-contacts) - [Protecting personal data](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#protecting-personal-data) - [Tags](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#tags) - [Send email pitches](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to sending email pitches](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#guide-to-sending-email-pitches) - [Verifying email addresses](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#verifying-email-addresses) - [Creating new email](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#creating-new-email) - [Optimizing recipient lists](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#optimizing-recipient-lists) - [Writing email content](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#writing-email-content) - [Sending emails](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#sending-emails) - [Email academy](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#email-academy) - [Domain authentication](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#domain-authentication) - [Find new media contacts](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to finding new media contacts with Prowly](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#guide-to-finding-new-media-contacts-with-prowly) - [Using Media Database](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#using-media-database) - [Contact and export limits](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#contact-and-export-limits) - [Media Monitoring](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to Media Monitoring](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#guide-to-media-monitoring) - [Browsing and filtering articles](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#browsing-and-filtering-articles) - [Dashboards and widgets](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#dashboards-and-widgets) - [Email notifications](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#email-notifications) - [Analyze PR performance](https://help.prowly.com/analyze-pr-performance?hsLang=en) - [Manage your account](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security and legal](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#security-and-legal) - [Connected inbox](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#connected-inbox) - [Subscription and payments](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#subscription-and-payments) - [Teamwork](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#teamwork) - [PR Reports](https://help.prowly.com/pr-reports?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.prowly.com/hubfs/prowly-logo-3.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.prowly.com/?hsLang=en) Help Center Copyright © 2026, Prowly | part of Semrush Inc.
