actualNoteContentPart: ## Bulk operations on tags
  Maybe you've done your best at keeping your notes nice and tidy (and even followed [the "official" guideline we provide here](/help/five_recommendations_tag_hierarchy_naming) ). Maybe you stay on top of your notes by [reviewing untagged notes](/help/search_filter_tags_groups#General_purpose_queries)  once a week and assigning the appropriate tag to each uncategorized note. 
  
  And despite all that, you find that one tag that you duplicated and forgot about, or that tag that you thought would be useful but you never touched it again.
  
  **To make any tagging corrections** in Amplenote, you can either:
  Use the common tag operations such as renaming, deleting or merging tags ([Organizing with tags#Renaming, merging, and deleting tags](/help/tag_shortcuts_default_shortcut#Renaming,_merging,_and_deleting_tags) );
  Or get more granular using multi-note selections.
  
  For the most advanced tag hierarchies, the second option might be the only one fit for the job. Using note selections, search queries and bulk-tagging, you can partially merge two tags, branch an existing a tag or untangle any tag tree that your knowledge base requires.
  
  ### Partially merge two tags
  For example, to partially merge 2 tags - interests/travel and interests/trips, you might want to:
  Search for in: interests/trips to select all "trips" notes;
  Use Shift-Click to select all notes that are actually about "traveling";
  Use the toolbar to apply the interests/travel tag to those notes;
  Optionally, remove the interests/trips tag if you don't need it anymore.
  
  ### Operations on complex tag queries
  As another example: maybe you want to remove the hobbies tag from all notes that aren't tagged with music:
  Search for in: hobbies,^music to select all notes tagged with hobbies but not music;
  Select all of the notes in the list of results;
  Remove the tag hobbies from the note selection.
  
  ### Branch a tag into subtags
  And another example: say you have a tag called schoolwork and you want to create two subtags called schoolwork/year-1 and schoolwork/year-2:
  Search for in: schoolwork;
  Select all "Year 1" notes and tag them with schoolwork/year-1;
  Search for in: schoolwork, ^schoolwork/year-1 to exclude all "Year 1" notes;
  Select all results and tag them with schoolwork/year-2;
  Optionally, remove the parent schoolwork tag from all notes.
