I thought this was great when I first heard about it, but no matter how many times I add it, it doesn’t show up in the list. I feel like I’ve been scammed. How can I add these tags? ![tag (1)](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/d/e/dde6835850f2f82cb08d96af0411e46b65d0e628.png) ![tag (2)](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/b/5/eb579fa6ec37399a82cf203387e0ab18f9f83712.png) ---

Hi there! The Tag source button makes it so you can add a new .ini file that will hold various tags but if you just want to add a tag to the current list you are looking at you can add it with that green “+” button in the top left corner of the Gameplay Tag Manager. Just pick which source you want to add to (Most likely DefaultGameplayTags.ini) and give the name there and then press `Add New Tag`. ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/a/0/da0fa72efc541a64eab56699288df2bdf2cad5d5.png) I hope this helps 😀 ---

Haha, that’s a completely different method from the documents I saw. Epic should update their documentation now. And make sure it shows at a glance whether the document is up to date. Anyway thanks for showing me how to do it. If it weren’t for you, I’d be stuck with this for the rest of my life. ---
