My datasets are in a paired collection. But there isn’t any tag icons. See the bellow image. How can I tag my datasets?

Hi @Maryam_Momeni

If you want to tag the collection itself, click on the pencil icon for the collection. That icon is in your screenshot: top right next to the collection name.

To tag the datasets (files) inside the collection (folder), please see these tutorials. [https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=tags](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=tags)

And there was recent Q&A about this in another post by someone else. Might help more if you have trouble: [Collection Operations: Tag elements](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/collection-operations-tag-elements/11500)
