At a high level, to rename a tag in Day One, you need to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Add a new tag to the entry\/entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Remove the old tag from the entry\/entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need further assistance on how to do the above, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open Day One and tap the search icon, in the upper left corner. Then tap Filter> Tags> the tag you wish to rename. This will apply a filter to your List<\/em> and only show the tagged entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the Multi-select Tool<\/em> <\/a>by swiping on an entry in the List and tap the select option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tap Select All<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Tap the tag word in the bottom right corner, type your new tag, then tap Done<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tap the tag word again, then type your new tag again. (You should see it appear in the list of tags with zero entries with that tag.) Tap the tag to apply it to your entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Tap the delete icon (red x) next to the tag(s) you wish to remove from the entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Tap Remove<\/em> in the confirmation alert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. After you’ve finished removing the tag(s) you don’t want for the selected entries, tap Done<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Mac<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. In the List<\/em> view with All Entries<\/em> selected, click the filter button icon > Tags > then select the tag you wish to rename. This will filter your entries in the List<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Select all the entries for this tag by clicking the first entry, then pressing CMD-A<\/em> on your keyboard or Select All<\/em> in the List filter at the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Control-click a selected entry to display the contextual menu, then select Tag…<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. In the tag-editing menu, type your new tag in the Search\/Add<\/em> field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Delete the tag(s) you don’t want by clicking the “X” button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
