Create nested tags

If you have a lot of tags in Evernote, you can organize them by creating nested tags. Nested tags are tags that are organized as sub-tags under a main tag. With nested tags, there is a main tag and one or more sub-tags. For example, a main tag "Travel" might have multiple sub-tags "Chicago," "New York," and "San Francisco."

Note: Nested tags are not supported with Evernote Teams.
