In Evernote Teams, tag management is designed to keep your team's organization consistent and accessible. Here’s how tags function across Teams accounts:
- When a team member creates a tag, it automatically syncs across all team accounts. Renaming tags and changing their color are limited to admins by default; an admin can let members do it too by turning on Allow members to modify tags. Deleting tags is always limited to admins.
- Tags are visible to all team members, even if they’re not yet associated with a note.
- Tags can be created using the Create Tag button or from within a note’s tag picker, where users can find and select team tags or create new ones directly.
- Each tag shows who created it in the Created by column of the Tags view.
- Tags can have one of 48 colors, which work in light and dark mode.
- Actions a member isn't allowed to use appear greyed out; tapping or hovering explains why.
- Tags can only be deleted via the Admin Console. Members can't delete tags, even when tag editing is enabled.
Who can do what
- All members: create tags and add existing tags to notes.
- Admins: rename, recolor, and delete tags.
- Members: rename and recolor tags only if an admin turns on Allow members to modify tags (Admin Console → Your team → Tag permissions). Changes can take up to 3 minutes to reach everyone. Deleting tags stays admin-only.
Troubleshooting: "No notes found" message
If you see the message, “No notes found. It’s possible you are missing access to the notes, tags are shared among all the team members. Try using a different keyword or filter.,” it generally means that:
- You don’t have access to any notes associated with that tag.
- The tag itself exists within the team, but there may not be any accessible notes for you with that tag.
To resolve this:
- Adjust your search keywords or filters to help locate notes you have access to.
- If you need help with permissions or think there may be an error, your team admin can confirm your access rights.
