Remove tags from assets in folders

Tags help identify and group assets for better searching and browsing. You can remove tags that are no longer relevant. You can remove a tag from all assets in a folder, including subfolders. Depending on the number of assets in the folder, it might take some time to remove tags and for them to be removed in searches. If you have mapped specific files to a folder in P4 DAM and remove a tag from that folder, the tag will be removed from all files in the folder.

To remove tags from an asset, see Remove tags from assets. To remove tags from all assets in a collection, including folders and subfolders, see Remove tags from assets in collections.

By default, you can add and remove tags to a maximum of 10,000 assets at once. If you try to tag or untag more assets than allowed, the tag action is blocked and an error is displayed showing the maximum number of assets that can be tagged. You can reduce the number of assets to tag and perform multiple tagging actions, or contact your P4 DAM administrator and ask them to increase the tag limit. See Configure the P4 DAM tag file limit.

1. Open the project and collection that contains the folder.

2. Click the vertical ellipsis button on the folder you are removing the tag from and click Remove tags.

3. From the Remove tags dialog box, click X on a tag to remove it.

   The tag is removed and added to the Removed tags section of the dialog. If you remove a tag by mistake, click Undo on the tag.

4. When you have finished, click Save changes.

   The changes are saved to the assets in the folder, including subfolders.
