Labels in workspace settings
Labels are colored tags you attach to tasks. They are shared across the whole team, so one list serves every project. The Settings page is where you tidy that list: rename, recolor, check usage and delete.
At a glance
| What it is | Team-wide colored task tags |
| Where to find it | Avatar > Settings > Project & Workflow > Labels |
| Who can use it | Owners and Admins |
| Plan | Any plan |
What does the list show?
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Label | The name as a colored chip |
| Associated Task Count | How many tasks currently carry it |
Search filters the list. The page size defaults to 20 (10, 20, 50 or 100). An empty list tells you labels can be created while creating or updating tasks.
How do I create or edit a label?
- Hover a row and click the edit icon, or create one from a task.
- In Edit Label, change the Name (required) or pick a Color from the palette (required).
- Click Update.
What happens when I delete a label?
- Hover the row and click the delete icon.
- If no task uses it, confirm Delete Label. This cannot be undone.
- If tasks use it, the message says how many tasks it is assigned to. Confirming removes it from all of them. This cannot be undone.
Best practices
- Check Associated Task Count before deleting, because deletion removes the label from every task that has it.
- Rename or recolor instead of delete-and-recreate, since a new label would not reattach to existing tasks.
- Search for near-duplicates now and then, as nothing blocks two labels with the same name.
