Tips:

Use tags to quickly identify topics with the same title within the Inline Manual portal. For example, you have a feature announcement you want to display in the widget, but you need to display different content for different segments. In this case, you can make two topics with the same title, and then show each of the topics to specific segments only. To make identifying topics easier, you can add tags.

You can also use topic tags to search for the topics in the widget and for the checklist.
