## Creating a label
<a name="issues-create-label"></a>

In CodeCatalyst, you create labels by either adding them when you create a new issue or when you edit an existing issue. For more information, see [Creating an issue in CodeCatalyst](issues-create-issue.md) and [Editing and collaborating on issues in CodeCatalyst](issues-edit-collaborate-issue.md).
