Was asked what I meant when I mentioned a better label editing feature

[PerBonomi]

Because I don't want to manually edit them 🙂

Below is a screen grab of roughly 30% of our current labels.

These are just some of the ideas that mention a similar request:

Thanks @PerBonomi for sharing this. We do plan to have better tags management capability in Aurora ( editing/deleting/merging etc. ) , and will take your suggestions into consideration.

When I started my new gig, one of the first things I had our developer do was build a bulk label updater. Allows me to easily just throw in a list of every article and every label it should have. One click, poof, done with it all.

We did all of that before we even launched a single label. Because as every one of those ideas you listed shows, it’s critical to have basic management tools if you are doing anything at scale.

Do you mind sharing how did you do that? We have a similar problem on our community, and while we went through 900+ articles manually, there is no way we can do it with 20 years' forum posts too... When we brought up this idea to Khoros, they were surprised to hear we want such a thing.

I'm encountering the same issue. 15 years of labels from a migrated platform when we came onto Khoros with no easy way to tidy up. 

I don't have the dev knowledge to create a tool myself and got a 5 figure quote for a tool that once used to tidy up the space doesn't provide long term value so I had to pass. 

Some other awesome people in this community have provided other methods such as using Excel but thats no longer an option for me. 

The platform should provide the following at a category and board level: 
 - Add 
 - Find and replace  
 - Find and remove
 - Merge

Hi @AshishKe, can you confirm if you meant Labels here instead of Tags? 

[AshishKe]

Hi @tyw , in Aurora we plan to merge Labels and Tags into a single feature, which we are calling Tags (see this). I was referring to that. We will have pre-defined Tags that are similar to Labels. So yes, you would be able to manage your labels.

This sounds amazing actually! Unfortunately the link you provided is not accessible for me... I assume because it is available only for early birds...? But I would love to hear / see more about this.

[AshishKe]

@nbalogh you should be able to access the link now. Could you please check?

[nbalogh]

@AshishKe thank you, yes, now i have access. 🙂

Hi @AshishKe, could you enable access for me as well? We are currently undergoing a massive labelling effort right now, any information about new features could be critical in our planning. Thank you!
