   Tag columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the desired column header.

4. To edit a single Tag manually:
   1. Click the cell of the Tag you wish to edit. The current Tag data appears in the field at the top of the dialog box.
   2. Edit the Tag data in the field at the top of the dialog box as desired. To clear the Tag data, click .
5. To edit multiple Tags manually:
   1. Multi-select the cells of the Tags you wish to edit by SHIFT-clicking, CTRL-clicking, or clicking and dragging, as desired. Only similar Tags can be selected (that is, Tags in the same column).
   2. If each of the selected Tags contains the same data, it will be shown in the field at the top of the dialog box, otherwise that field will be blank. Enter the desired Tag data in this field.
6. To recreate Tags automatically:

   2. Click AutoMark. The first sheet opens and the Add Tags dialog box appears.

      

   3. Click Select and draw a rectangle around the region of the drawing that contains the desired tag information.
   4. Revu will analyze the contents of the defined region and the Add Tags dialog box will reappear with a preview of what it found. This is what the new tag for the current sheet will be. If it is incorrect or incomplete, click Reselect and draw the rectangle again.
   5. Click OK to accept the tag region. Revu will analyze the rest of the selected drawings and re-create the tag for each.
7. Click OK to accept the changes or click Cancel to discard them.

Note: When an Auto-tag option is enabled for a Set and the sheet number tag is changed, the associated tag will automatically update. For example, if the option Auto Tag: Discipline per Sheet Number is enabled and the sheet number tag for sheet A100 is changed to E100, the discipline tag will change from "Architectural" to "Electrical" automatically.

Tags are generally added to a Set during Set creation, but they can also be added to a Set after it has been created. When a new Tag is added to a Set, Revu will process it from all sheets currently in the Set and automatically add it to any sheets added to the Set in the future.
