# Status Tagging and File Attribution

> Applying organisation-specific status tags and attribution to files.

# Status tagging

If your DekkoSecure administrator has enabled status tagging, the ⊕ button will appear in the **Status** column.

Tags can be added to files that you own (uploaded) or of which files you are an administrator (shared with *full permissions*). Tags set on shared content will be displayed for all users that have access to the file/folder.

**To add a tag:** press ⊕ and then select a tag (or multiple tags, if needed!) and press **save**.

**To update a tag:** press on a current tag, then make a selection/deselections and press **save**.

**To remove a tag:** press on a current tag, deselect the tag and press **save**.
