❓ Issue/Question
- I would like all users who log in and go to the collections to see the media with the tags on by default, and that they do not have to choose to display the tag themselves.
- Users see a Spotlight tags row in the media card filter and in the Display options menu, but the row stays empty (
—). They look for a way to mark an individual tag as "spotlight" and cannot find one. - Is there a way to make a tag stand out, for example a usage tag such as editorial use only, so users notice it while browsing the media?
👌 Resolution/Answer
- A tag can't be highlighted when opening a media. The way to make it stand out is to display it as a spotlight tag on the media card, in a predefined color, when scrolling the Media Library or a collection
