Let's say that you are writing an entry in TextEdit or any other text editor. If you decide at this moment that you k just in progress file you want assign a tag you can do so. Just click on an arrow, which is located in upper part of the window, now next to the title file. Then simply click in the box Brand and choose which tag you want for the file assign. You can also add a tag to the file you are currently saving - the procedure is almost the same - at storage we just fill in the box Brand.
If you want to find files marked with the Mark, you can find them very easily - either in sidebar in Finderu you click on the required Brand or it is enough when to search in Finderu you write the name of a certain color. You can also find marked files using Spotlight or Siri.
It annoys me enough that the mark can only be seen as a dot (unclear!), is there no way around it so that it works like it used to and the whole line is colored??
Does anyone have any experience with setting tags for files stored in cloud (onedrive). It used to work normally for me, but now, and I don't know why, I tag a file and after opening and closing it, the tag disappears.
