Organize Tags
Find and merge duplicate tags across your vault using AI-powered similarity detection. Covers both simple typos (casing, hyphens, pluralization) and semantic duplicates across languages.
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) → Organize Tags
Tag scanning runs in two stages:
Groups tags that differ only in surface form:
- Casing:
#project-managementvs#ProjectManagement - Hyphens/underscores:
#to-dovs#todo - Pluralization:
#recipevs#recipes
This stage is fast and doesn't require AI.
Detects semantically similar tags that string matching can't catch:
- Cross-language:
#meeting-notesvs#회의록 - Synonyms:
#codingvs#programming - Related concepts:
#machine-learningvs#ML
This stage uses your AI provider's embedding model and processes tags in batches (up to 200 tags per batch).
Each duplicate group shows:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Canonical tag | The recommended tag to keep (editable) |
| Variant list | All similar tags that will be merged |
| Affected notes | Number of notes that will be updated |
| Badge | Group type — Nest (hierarchical) or Related (info only) |
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Merge | Replace all variants with the canonical tag in every affected note |
| Nest | Create a nested tag hierarchy instead of flat merge |
| Edit | Customize the canonical tag name before merging |
| Skip | Skip this group without merging |
| Undo | Revert a completed merge |
- Select All checkbox at the top
- Merge / Skip buttons act on all selected groups
Click Edit to customize a group before merging:
- Keep tag (canonical) — select which tag to keep from the dropdown
- Custom tag — or enter an entirely new tag name
- Variants — review which tags will be merged
- Click Save to apply your edits
When you merge a tag group:
- Every affected note's frontmatter is updated
- All variant tags are replaced with the canonical tag
- The change is recorded in the Activity Log with full undo support
Click Re-scan to run the analysis again. This is useful after merging some groups — the remaining tags may form new groups.
- Vault Maintenance — also detects duplicate tags as part of the full vault scan
