Difference Between Content Tags and Labels in Zendesk

Discover the key differences between content tags and labels in Zendesk and their unique uses.

How do content tags differ from labels in Zendesk?

Content tags and labels serve different purposes in Zendesk. While labels are used to improve search relevance and act as search keywords, content tags do not influence search results. Instead, content tags are used to manually group related content across different sections and topics, allowing users to easily navigate through related articles. For example, you might use labels like 'refund' or 'returns' to enhance search, while using a content tag like 'billing' to categorize articles.
