What's the difference between tags and categories to organize product feedback in Canny?

Every Canny board can have its own tags and categories available. These are managed in the Boards tab in your Canny settings. 

Tags

Any post can be tagged by a Canny admin. Tags are only visible internally. They are meant to help your team categorize and prioritize your feedback behind the scenes. A post can have multiple tags applied to it.

Users will not see your tags, so feel free to apply them candidly. You will also be able to filter posts by tags in Canny. Learn more


Categories

Categories are visible to your end-users:

A post can only be assigned to one category. Typically, categories represent the teams that will need to address the request or a particular section/feature of your app.

Categories also allow you as a Canny admin to subscribe to categories that are relevant to you personally.

Remember that both tags and categories are visible to all admins in your Canny account.
