# Manage Workspace Labels

> Create, edit, and delete reusable labels at the workspace level

Labels help your team categorize tasks consistently across all projects. Workspace-level labels are defined once and available everywhere — update the name or color, and it changes everywhere that label is used.

## Open workspace labels

1. Go to **Settings**.
2. Open **Workspace -> Labels**.

You'll see a list of all existing workspace labels with their colors and names.

## Create a label

1. Click **Create Label**.
2. Enter a name (e.g. `bug`, `feature`, `api`).
3. Pick a color from the 9 available options:
   * Stone, Slate, Lavender, Sage, Forest, Amber, Terracotta, Rose, Crimson
4. Click **Create Label**.

The label is now available for assignment to tasks across all projects in the workspace.

## Edit a label

1. Click the pencil icon next to the label you want to change.
2. Update the name, color, or both.
3. Click **Save**.

Changes cascade to every task currently using that label — no manual re-assignment needed.

## Delete a label

1. Click the trash icon next to the label.
2. Confirm deletion in the dialog.

Deleting a workspace label removes it from **all** tasks that use it. This cannot be undone.

## Permissions

Managing workspace labels requires the **Manage settings** permission. If you don't see the edit or delete controls, ask a workspace admin to update your role.

## Best practices

* Use consistent naming: `bug`, `feature`, `chore` for work type; `api`, `web`, `infra` for domain
* Assign distinct colors to different categories so they're easy to scan on the board
* Keep the total number of labels manageable — too many labels dilute their usefulness
