# Add tags to selected resources


You can use Tag Editor to add tags to selected resources that are in the results of your **Find resources to tag** query.

**Note**  
This topic describes how to bulk edit the tags for *multiple* resources. You can also edit the tag values for an individual resource. For more information, see [View and edit existing tags for a selected resource](tagging-resources-view.md).

1. Open the [Tag Editor console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/resource-groups/tag-editor), and submit a query that returns multiple resources that you want to tag.

1. In the results table of your **Find resources to tag** query, select the check boxes next to the resources that you want to add tags to. Enter a text string in **Filter resources** at the top of the table to filter for part of a resource's name, ID, tag keys, or tag values. In the **Tags** column, note that resources in the results already have tags applied to them.

1. Select the check box for one or more resources, and then choose **Manage tags of the selected resources**.

1. On the **Manage tags** page, view the tags on the resources that you selected. Although your original query returned more resources, you're adding tags to only those resources that you selected in step 1. Choose **Add tag**.

1. Enter a tag key and an optional tag value. For this procedure, you'll add the tag key **Team** and the tag value **Development**.
**Note**  
A resource can have a maximum of 50 user-applied tags. You might not be able to add new tags to a resource if you're approaching 50 user-applied tags. AWS generated tags don't apply to the 50-tag limit. Tag keys must also be unique within your selected resources. You can't add a new tag with a key that matches a tag key that already exists in your selected resources. 

1. When you're finished adding tags, choose **Review and apply changes**.

1. If you accept the changes, choose **Apply changes to all selected**.

1. Depending on the number of resources you select, applying new tags can take a few minutes. Don't leave the page or open a different page in the same browser tab. If changes were successful, a green success banner is displayed at the top of the page. Wait for a success or failure banner to appear on the page before you continue.

   If tag changes to some or all resources were not successful, see [Troubleshooting tag changes](troubleshooting-tags.md). After you resolve the unsuccessful tag changes (such as insufficient permissions), you can retry the tag changes on resources for which tag changes failed. For more information, see [Retry failed tag changes](troubleshooting-tags.md#tagging-resources-retry).
