# Assign / Clear tags

Using bulk tagging, you can assign or manage tags across multiple variants at once. This helps maintain consistency and reduces repetitive manual work.

### Assigning tags to multiple variants

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Select the [variants of interest](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/analysis-tools-tab-beta-v100.39.0+/variant_table/multiselection_of_variants_and_bulk_actions_-340+.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the Tag icon in the Multi-select actions bar
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose a tag from the dropdown menu
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### Tag assignment behavior

* If a tag is already assigned to at least one selected variant, a confirmation window appears. It shows the current tag and the new tag for each variant.
* When multiple tags per variant are enabled, tags are always added in addition to existing tags. No confirmation window will appear in this case.
* All tags assigned to a variant are displayed in the Tag column. If both user tags and AI tags exist, only user tags appear in the column.

### Clear tags for multiple variants

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Select the [variants of interest](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/analysis-tools-tab-beta-v100.39.0+/variant_table/multiselection_of_variants_and_bulk_actions_-340+.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the Tag icon
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose one of the following:

* <sup>Clear – removes user-assigned tags.</sup>
* <sup>Not relevant – removes tags assigned by Emedgene</sup>
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tips:**

* Use bulk tagging to ensure consistency across variants that share biological or interpretive context.
* If you work in teams, use consistent tagging practices to reduce mismatches.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warnings:**

* Clearing tags affects all team members working on the case — coordinate with your team to avoid conflicts.
* Bulk edits apply immediately to all selected variants.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/analysis-tools-tab-beta-v100.39.0+/variant_table/multiselection_of_variants_and_bulk_actions_-340+/assign-clear-tags.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
