Yesterday, we talked about how to subscribe to a thread... today, let's talk about how to find your saved subscriptions in the DocuSign Community!

According to Wikipedia: "... a tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information... helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system..."
In the DocuSign Community, both post creators and views can create tags! Here's how:
(1) Click "Add Tag."
(2) Add tags by typing in the form fields - hint: tag posts with words that will return something useful to searchers!
(3) Click "Add" - you'll see the "Tag(s) Added" message!
