QuestionAnswer

I have changed the project for the library but my old tags are still there, what should I do?

We only add new tags and never delete old ones, you can disable them via the tagging dialogue or erase them via Library -> Quick Edit.
I have too many files to change manually, is there any shortcut?

Delete all tags via Library -> Quick Edit, and send all highlighted files to bulk extractor via Files -> Send to Extractor.

I uploaded lots of documents to a library and while some of them have been tagged, others remain untagged with gray sync icon, how do I fix it?Your SharePoint server was overloaded. Go to PowerTagging Admin Tools, select your library and click Retag All. And/or consider raising resources on your SharePoint server.

When navigating through OnPremise SharePoint, my tags do not render properly. I see lines of code instead, what can I do to make it work?
