Upgrade StorageFeature Request: Prioritize Recently Used and Relevant Tags When Adding Tags
Hi Zotero team,
I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the tag-adding experience that could significantly improve usability and encourage more consistent tagging behavior among users.
Currently, when adding tags to an item, the full list of existing tags appears alphabetically, which can make it time-consuming to locate the tags that are most relevant at the moment.
Suggestion:
Show recently used tags at the top of the list when adding new tags. These often reflect the user’s current reading focus and can greatly streamline repetitive tagging tasks.
Apply contextual weighting to tag suggestions based on:
Tags frequently used within the current collection;
Tags that appear on similar items (e.g., with the same creator, publication, or subject).
This would not only make tagging more efficient but also improve engagement with the tagging feature. A smarter, adaptive tagging interface could enhance user experience and metadata quality within large Zotero libraries.
Thank you for considering this feature request!
Best regards,
Zhou Libin
