Taxonomy terms

List, add and order your site's terms in the shared vocabularies without touching other sites' terms.

Needs Sites taxonomy

Part of Sites taxonomy.

Vocabularies like Tags are shared, and a platform administrator manages them on the hub. Their terms belong to sites, usually to one site each (Content on sites). Each site keeps its own list of terms in a vocabulary.

Before you start

• On the site, Access the taxonomy vocabulary overview page or Administer vocabularies and terms.
• To add terms, the vocabulary's create permission, like Tags: Create terms, and Add Taxonomy term: Tags content to a site.
• To reorder or reset terms, Administer vocabularies and terms or the vocabulary's edit permission, like Tags: Edit terms.
