In the dialog you can edit tags and assign them to QM items. In the right side - QM items that have the selected tag. To assign a tag to current QM item, check the tag or create new tag and check. To remove a tag from current QM item, uncheck or delete the tag. When you delete or rename a tag, the tag is deleted/renamed for all QM items that have it. Unassigned tags are removed. Tags of all currently loaded QM items (including shared and read-only) are saved in current main QM file.
