When you have added taxonomy tags to your resources, there may come a time when you need to remove some of them. For example, you may have decided on a different taxonomy strategy or you may have tags that were accidentally assigned to the wrong topics.
To remove tags, you can either:
-
Delete a tag completely, so that it is removed from all Paligo resources and will no longer exist in Paligo
-
Remove a tag from one or more resources, but still have the tag available in Paligo. With this approach, you only remove the association between the tag and a topic, publication or image.
Tip
It's also possible to remove taxonomy tags via API. See the API documentation for information.
To completely remove a taxonomy tag from Paligo, so that no resources can be associated with it:
-
Expand the Taxonomy Manager and navigate to the tag that you want to edit.
Note
Alternatively, you can use the Taxonomy Floating Content Panel to navigate to the tag.
-
Select the dotted menu (...) for the tag and choose Delete.
-
Select Delete to confirm the deletion of the taxonomy tag.
Paligo removes the taxonomy tag from your instance. It is automatically removed from any topics, publications, or images that were associated with it.
You can remove a taxonomy tag from a topic or publication, without affecting other resources or losing the taxonomy tag from Paligo. The taxonomy tag can still be used with any other resources or re-applied later if needed. There are two ways to do this, via the Resource View or via the Taxonomies View.
Here we will explain how to use the Resource View to remove a taxonomy tag:
-
Select the
foldercontaining the content in Content Manager.If the content is not in a folder, select the top-level folder Documents.
This will open the Resource View.
-
Select the X on the taxonomy label to remove it.
Tip
This can also be done from via the Taxonomies View, see Remove Taxonomy Tags from Image.
You can remove a taxonomy tag from an image, without affecting other resources or losing the taxonomy tag from Paligo. The taxonomy tag can still be used with any other resources or re-applied later if needed.

at the bottom of the checkbox column.
