How do I make tags in Notes appear in tags for files?

I have a robust tagging system in Apple Notes. I'd like to have these available for tagging files without recreating the tags. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

Cannot add tags in the Notes app on any devices all my devices are fully updated macbook pro 15.5 ipad air 18.5 iphone 16 pro 18.5 Nothing I do will create a tag. Is there something I need to change in Settings? For example, I'm using #tag hitting return, and nothing happens.

Tags on Notes partly go missing on XS and iPad Pro Smart Folders I have smart folders in my notes on both my XS and iPad Pro. There are both set up correctly for iCloud and all my devices and apps are 100% fully up-to-date and the latest version. All my cloud setting are correct. I keep a daily diary of a note per day and keep it in two files #Diary and #Diary-Archive Once I have completed I more the note from #Diary to #Diary-Archive. My method is in #Diary folder:- tap 3 dots in top right select notes then tap the note I wish to move tap tags in middle bottom of screen then in the list of tags select Diary-Archive and unselect Diary The note should move in to the new smart folder However sometimes when I look back I can’t find the note in the correct Smart Folder. When I investigate further I find the note but its tag reads “#…” in a grey colour rather than reading “Diary-Archeive” in the active orange/yellow colour. I have tried lots of testing and it seem to go missing when I do the change on my phone but not always. Any ideas? I can send further details and screen shots on request [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Though an unfortunate use of Apple terminology, the tags one uses in Notes (e.g. #tag) is unrelated to the Finder tags that one places on files or folders.
