**Answer:** Each note can have one label. Labels color your notes, filter them, and become columns on the Board.

## Give a note a label

- In New note, press **Label** and pick one.
- On an existing note, open its menu (right click, or **⋯**) and choose **Label**.
- On the Board, drag the note to that label's column.

## Filter by label

Pick a label in the sidebar (full tab) or the filter menu. You can pick more than one.

## Manage labels

Go to **Settings > Labels** to rename, recolor, delete or pin them.
