You can rename a candidate tag or remove one you no longer use. Deleting a tag takes it off every candidate it's currently on. This action requires a role with permission to manage templates & workflows (typically Admins).

Frequently asked questions
What happens to candidates when I delete a tag?
The tag is removed from every candidate that had it. The candidates themselves are not affected — only the label is taken off.
Does renaming a tag update it everywhere?
Yes. Renaming a tag updates it immediately on every candidate it's applied to, so your filters stay consistent.
