When a tag is clicked, results span beyond the workspace to all notebooks in the community so planning the proper naming convention is important.\n- **Use broad tags** to group concepts across the community to give students examples and resources beyond their classroom (ex: stats, inputs, plot) \n- **Use course-specific tags** to group notebooks within a team or a classroom (ex: dv344-sec1, final-pt2, team starbug)\n\nCheck out the tags on this notebook, and notice how class-demo and tags produce different results.
