Tags Greyed Out - Files/Folders


Hello.


I'm new to Mac having switched from Windows a week ago. I'm trying to add tags to files and folders, but the option is greyed out? I've Googled for over an hour without result.

Ok, I figured it out. I probably should have been a little more descriptive in my original post.


I was trying to tag files on an external drive. Having just switched from Windows the drives were formatted with Windows NTFS. Re-formatting the drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) solved the issue and allows me to tag files and folders.
