Move tags between folders in bulk

[jamesb78478912]

Is there a way to move AEM structured tags in bulk? 

In the main tagging UI you can easily move one tag around the tag hieirarchy, one at a time, but I need to reorganise many at once.

I am sure I once saw a different UI where tags could be managed in bulk but now I can't find it.

Hi, 

You could move the parent if that is quicker for a group of tags. Otherwise, I don't recall an UI where you can select multiple tags to be moved to a different location.

Hi @jamesb78478912 ,

Yes, it is possible to move AEM structured tags in bulk. You can use the Tagging UI to move tags between folders in bulk. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Tagging UI by navigating to http://localhost:4502/tagging.html.
2. Click on the "Move" button in the toolbar.
3. Select the destination folder from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on the "Move" button to move the tags to the destination folder.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

@HrishikeshKaCan you add a screenshot of what checkboxes you are referring to in step 2? I have never seen such a thing.

There is no OOTB way to bulk move tag, but please check if following would help:

1. Export the tags using acs commons Tags to CSV exporter https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/exporters/tags/index.html 

2. Rename the tags

3. reimport using the ACS Commons tag creator. https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/mcp-tools/renovator/index.html 

4. Delete the existing tags in AEM and 

At this point references would not be updated.

- For assets these can be updated in bulk via https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/assets/metadata/metadata-import-...

- For Pages, via Bulk Editor https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/developing/ext...

@jamesb78478912  I dont think there is any option available OOTB. You can create a groovy script or a MCP for this re-organization.
