# Hashtags Tools

### Overview

Hashtags in MangoApps are a powerful way to categorize and discover content across your domain. By using the `#` symbol followed by a word or phrase (e.g., `#SalesWin`), users can organize updates, posts, wikis, files, and more into searchable and clickable topics. Hashtags make it easier to find related information and stay informed about topics of interest.

### Accessing the Hashtags Module

To view all hashtags in your domain:

1. Go to the **left-hand navigation menu**.
2. Click **Hashtags**.

The Hashtags screen displays both **Admin Defined** and **User Defined** hashtags:

* **Admin Defined**: Pre-configured or created by network admins. These cannot be edited or deleted by regular users.
* **User Defined**: Created by users within the domain. These can be edited or deleted (unless restricted by admin settings).
* **Note**: Guest users **cannot** create or follow hashtags.

***

### Exploring and Filtering Hashtags

On the Hashtags screen, you can:

* **Search** for a specific hashtag
* **Filter** by Category
* **Filter** by Hashtag Type:
  * All Hashtags
  * Super Hashtags Only
  * Hashtags I Follow
  * Hashtags I Do Not Follow

***

### Hashtag Actions via the Three Dot Menu

Click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to any hashtag to access these options:

* **Follow Hashtag**: Stay updated on new or modified content tagged with this hashtag.
* **View Details**: See all content items that use this hashtag.
* **View Followers**: See a list of users who follow the hashtag.
* **Edit**: Available only for *User Defined* hashtags.
* **Delete**: Also available only for *User Defined* hashtags. Deleting a hashtag removes the tag from associated content but does not delete the content itself.

***

### Following Hashtags

To follow a hashtag:

1. Click the **three-dot menu** next to the hashtag.
2. Select **Follow Hashtag**.

Followed hashtags are marked with a **star icon**. You will receive real-time notifications (across platforms) whenever:

* New content is tagged with the hashtag.
* Existing tagged content is updated.

***

### Viewing Hashtag Details and Followers

* **View Details**: See all associated items (posts, polls, wikis, files, events, and more).
* **View Followers**: See who in your domain is following that hashtag.

> Only **network users** (not guests) can follow hashtags.

***

### Super Hashtags

**Super Hashtags** are special tags marked with a unique symbol. These are:

* Designated by network admins.
* Intended to flag authoritative, best-in-class, or baseline content.
* Restricted to use by selected users, as defined by admins.

***

### Associating Hashtags with Content

You can add hashtags to most types of content in MangoApps (posts, ideas, wikis, campaigns, etc.) simply by typing `#` followed by the topic.

If the hashtag does not already exist:

* A **Create New Hashtag** link will appear.
* Click it to instantly create the hashtag and make it available system-wide (if your admin allows it).
