# Tags

While folders represent rigid structure, tags represent fluid associations. Kiln leverages Obsidian's tagging system to create cross-cutting collections of content that ignore folder boundaries.

Dynamic Aggregation

For every unique tag found in your vault (e.g., #philosophy or #project-alpha), Kiln automatically generates a dedicated page.

• Tag Pages: These pages serve as dynamic hubs. They list every single note that contains that specific tag.
• Cross-Folder Discovery: Because tags work across directories, a tag page gives you an instant collection of related ideas regardless of where the files actually live (e.g., clicking #urgent shows tasks from both your Work and Personal folders).

Graph Integration

Tags are fully integrated citizens of your site's visualization tools.

• Graph Nodes: Tags appear as distinct nodes in your graphs.
• Visualizing Connections: This is powerful for seeing hidden connections. You might see that the tag #productivity acts as a bridge connecting your Journal folder to your Reading List, revealing patterns in your thinking that folders alone might hide.
