These settings act on the tags you have already created. Set up the tags you want to expose first, in Settings → Tags.
Let users apply tags when submitting
Turn on Let users set tags in the Submission & voting section to add a tag picker to the post form. Visitors can then choose from your existing tags when they create a post, so feedback arrives already labelled.
Let visitors filter by tag
Turn on Public tags in the Public board display section to show a tag filter on your public board. Visitors can then narrow the list to a single tag and browse only the posts that carry it.
Mix and match
The two settings are independent, so you can combine them however you like:- Both off keeps tags fully internal. Your team still uses them as Labels on posts; users see nothing.
- Public tags only lets visitors filter by tags that you and your team apply, without letting them set tags themselves. Good when you curate the labels.
- Let users set tags only collects a tag on new posts but does not add a public filter.
- Both on gives you a fully public tag axis: users label their own posts and everyone can filter by those labels.
