Usage

'Before' usage of this tool you need to verify the target Tag exists (or you will need to create it). So use the menu Edit ➡ Tags ▶ Organize Tags... command to invoke a dialog (to create at tag, choose a tag color and re-order the tags) so that the new tag will be higher priority. Otherwise if you have no Tags the tool will show an ERROR tab stating The Tool requires at least one tag to execute. and if you attempt to Execute you will be shown the WARNING dialog stating Unable to run the tool. Please check if your database contains tags, filters and objects.

Select the menu Tools ➡ Family Tree Processing ▶ Add/Remove Tag Tool... and you will be shown:

• The Undo history warning dialog and you can choose either to Stop or Proceed with the tool to be shown:

• The Add/Remove Tag Tool dialog where once you have made your choices about which tag you want to add or remove from which objects, you can either choose Close to exit or Execute to apply the change.

Once the change if any has been made you will be shown an INFO dialog with the results.
