# Manage tags
Managing tags on snapshots is simple. The existing set of tags can be either
replaced completely, added to or removed from. The result is directly visible
in the `snapshots` command.
Managing tags on snapshots is done with the `tag` command. The existing set of
tags can be replaced completely, tags can be added to removed. The result is
directly visible in the `snapshots` command.
Let's say we want to tag snapshot `590c8fc8` with the tags `NL` and `CH` and
remove all other tags that may be present, the following command does that:
```console
$ restic -r /tmp/backup tag --set NL,CH 590c8fc8
Create exclusive lock for repository
Modified tags on 1 snapshots
```
Note the snapshot ID has changed, so between each change we need to look up
the new ID of the snapshot. But there is an even better way, the `tag` command
accepts `--tag`, so we can filter snapshots based on the tag we just added.
accepts `--tag` for a filter, so we can filter snapshots based on the tag we
just added.
So we can add and remove tags incrementally like this:
```console
$ restic -r /tmp/backup tag --tag NL --remove CH
Create exclusive lock for repository
Modified tags on 1 snapshots
$ restic -r /tmp/backup tag --tag NL --add UK
Create exclusive lock for repository
Modified tags on 1 snapshots
$ restic -r /tmp/backup tag --tag NL --remove NL
Create exclusive lock for repository
Modified tags on 1 snapshots
$ restic -r /tmp/backup tag --tag NL --add SOMETHING
No snapshots were modified
```
