## What's new

- **Tags in colour.** `Settings > Tags` has a `Tags` tab: your organisation's one list of tags, each
  in one of twelve colours, with how many applications, contracts, funds and payment batches carry
  it. An application's tags show as coloured chips at the top of its page. See
  [Application tags and auto-tag rules](/administrator/organisation/application-tags-and-auto-tags).
- **Auto-tag rules.** The `Auto-tag rules` tab tags applications in the grants you choose when their
  tagged answers meet a rule's conditions, and takes the tag off when they stop meeting them. Apply
  a rule to the applications already in a grant, and see how many were tagged.
- **Include and exclude tag filters.** On `All applications` and a grant's `Applications` tab,
  `Filters` has `Include tags` and `Exclude tags`, each matching `Any` or `All` of the ticked tags,
  and `Withdrawn automatically`. See
  [Applications list](/administrator/applications/applications-list#filter-by-tags).
