Common Workflows

Use this page when you know the task but not the J2 Tags tool name.

Mark Actors During Level Design Lite

Use Quick Tags for small, fast labels such as Interactable, SpawnPoint, Cover, or QuestRelevant.

1. Create the Quick Tag in Project Settings | Project | J2 Quick Tags.
2. Select Actors in the level.
3. Add the tag through the Tag Inspector or context menu.
4. Check the tagged Actors in the Assignments Panel.
5. Enable the Viewport Overlay when you need spatial feedback.

Tag a Specific Component Lite

Use Component Tags when the whole Actor is not the meaningful target.

Task	Tool
Add a Component Tag	Tag Inspector or Component context menu
Inspect Component Tags	Tag Inspector
Remove tags from multiple Components	Context menu or Assignments Panel

Resolve Undefined Tags Pro Diagnostics

Undefined Tags exist on Actors, Components, or Assets but are not defined as Quick Tags or TagSet Tags.

1. Filter for undefined tags in the Assignments Panel.
2. Use Resolve Tags in Pro.
3. Decide whether each tag should become a Quick Tag, become a TagSet Tag, or remain intentionally undefined.
4. Open Diagnostics and verify that no unexpected undefined tags remain.

Stabilize Production Tags Pro

When tags are shared by multiple people, levels, or assets, move them into TagSets.

1. Create a TagSet asset.
2. Set a prefix and default scope.
3. Add groups for larger topic areas.
4. Define tags with display names, tooltips, and highlight colors.
5. Review the tags in the Tag Manager and use them from the Tag Picker.
6. Use redirects before or during tag renames.

Tag Assets Pro Asset Tags

Asset Tags are J2 metadata tags for Content Browser assets.

1. Define a TagSet Tag with Asset scope or a combined scope that includes Assets.
2. Select assets in the Content Browser.
3. Use the J2 Tags asset context menu to add or remove tags.
4. Filter the Content Browser by J2 Asset Tags.
5. Include Asset Tags in Diagnostics when they are part of release validation.

Rename Tags Pro

For stable projects, do not manually replace production tag names without a migration plan.

Case	Recommended path
Replace references only in the current level	Replace from the Assignments Panel
Rename a defined tag permanently	Rename from the Tag Manager
Migrate old references	Resolve Redirects or Diagnostics

Automate Validation Pro Behavior

Use the Behavior System when the same validation or action should run repeatedly:

• create a Diagnostics issue when a tag is added
• report an invalid Actor class for a tag
• add or remove supporting tags automatically
• run manual checks for a TagSet area
