actualNoteContentPart: As years pass, it's inevitable that your ideal organizing system will change. While you can use our [Five recommendations for choosing hierarchy/nested tag names](/help/five_recommendations_tag_hierarchy_naming)  to reduce the extent to which tag names change, it is "by design" that tag hierarchies will occasionally need to a refresh. 
  
  This page covers various options that can be chosen to rename/merge tag hierarchies, and to set options per-tag.
  
  # Tag options
  When you open the details for a tag, there are several options available. To open the options for a tag, you will want to click the "triple dot" icon to the right of the tag:
  
  
  
  
  
  On mobile, you can tap the triple dot next to any tag viewed in a note, or you can open the leftmost pane and tap any of the numbers (showing count of notes for the tag) to open the option for editing tag settings
  
  
  
  
  
  ## Tag coloring
  The main reason to pick a tag color is to set up [calendar coloring of tasks](https://www.amplenote.com/help/color_calendar_events) . The Tag Settings menu allows picking the color of a tag:
  
  
  
  
  
  Doing so will affect 2 things:
  How that tag is displayed in the sidebar, as well as any note that references that tag;
  How tasks will be colored on the calendar; read more here: [Color external and internal calendar events and tasks](/help/color_calendar_events) . 
  
  ## Set Victory Value multiplier
  [Victory Value](https://www.amplenote.com/help/victory_value_guide_intuition_toward_elevated_mood)  is graphed in the [Completed Task Stats section](https://www.amplenote.com/help/completed_task_stats_overview) . 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  When you have a tag that contains tasks that are relevant to your current quarterly goals, we recommend setting the Victory Value multiplier to 2 or higher.
  
  ## Target maximum open tasks
  Similar to how a maximum target for tasks can be set per-note, it is also possible to pick a per-tag limit for the number of tasks that you intend to allow before you make a cleanup pass.
  
  When you set a maximum number of tasks, you will see an indicator of "how close am I to exceeding my goal limit for total tasks?" when you visit the tag in Jots View or Tasks View. 
  
  ## Prevent auto-archive in tag
  In the "Notes" section of the Tag Options, you can toggle the box to prevent auto-archiving of notes within a particular tag:
  
  
  To prevent notes in the tag from being auto-archived after 30 days
  
  
  You can read more about [the impact of auto-archiving here](https://www.amplenote.com/help/organizing_notes_archive_note) . This option is generally not necessary.
  
  # Moving a tag hierarchy
  It's possible to relocate a tag hierarchy through drag-and-drop:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  When you drag a tag to a new location, all of the notes that had that tag assigned will have their tag updated. See also [Merging a tag](/help/tag_renaming_reorganizing#Merging_a_tag) , below. 
  
  # Renaming a tag
  To rename a tag, [hover over the tag and choose "Tag Settings"](https://images.amplenote.com/8fafc962-7e06-11eb-a5bd-fa7f62fd886b/9bed06cc-c79c-4dcf-9b02-fd4e394e25ef.png) , then change the name of the tag in the ensuing dialog.
  
  
  Choose "Edit tag settings" and then enter a new name to rename the tag
  
  
  When you rename a tag, all notes that have received that tag will be updated with its new name.
  
  💡 **Consider**: if you change a tag with sub-tags, the path of all descendant tags will be updated along with the tag you actually renamed. [Example]() .
