Introduction

WikiPRO allows authors to assign tags to wiki pages, making it easier to organize, categorize, search, and filter content across your Azure DevOps wiki.

Tags can be used to:

  • Group related documentation
  • Improve content discoverability
  • Create topic-based navigation
  • Support reporting and content management activities

Adding Tags to a Wiki Page

Follow these steps to assign tags to a wiki page:

  1. Open the desired wiki page.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Locate the Tags section in the WikiPRO page properties panel.
  4. Click on the Add tag button
  5. Press Enter after each tag to add it.
  6. Select Save to apply the changes.

Example

Add the following tags to a page about release management:

  • Release
  • Deployment
  • DevOps
  • Best Practices

The page will then appear in tag-based searches and filtered views associated with those tags.

To modify existing tags:

  1. Open the wiki page.
  2. Select Edit.

Viewing Tagged Pages

Users can view tagged content by:

This helps users quickly locate related documentation across the wiki.

Best Practices
