# Assign spot tags

You can assign tags to spots to control which content can be used in which playlists.

Unlike [categories](/docs/assign-spot-tags-1#Playlistspotproperties_categories), tags apply to all instances of a spot. You can assign as many tags as you like.

## How to use tags

When you use tags, consider the following information:

- Only admins can create the tags that other users assign.
- Assign one or more tags to a spot if you want the spot to be used in playlists that have at least one of the same tags.
- Don't assign tags to a spot if you want it to be usable in all playlists.

## Assign tags to spots

To assign tags to a spot, perform the following steps:

1. In IXM One, go to **Content > Playlist**.
2. In the **Spot groups** pane, select the spot group where your spot is located.
3. In the **Selectable spots** pane, hover your mouse over the spot and click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/assign-spot-tags-image-tv4059pt.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T20%3A21%3A45Z&se=2026-11-06T21%3A21%3A45Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=0QOvINXs8A44icvCZht7N%2FFiSRo3854YrnMRSz%2F5DsA%3D) **Edit properties**. Alternatively, select the spot and click **Edit > Edit properties**.
4. In the **Edit spot properties** window, switch to the **Tags** tab.
