Tags
Tags let you freely classify your books.

- Type a tag name and press Enter
- Existing tags appear as autocomplete suggestions
Filtering by Tag
Click a tag in the sidebar tag list to show only books with that tag.
Bulk Tagging
Select multiple books in the main list (⌘-click or Shift-click), then right-click and choose Edit Tags.
Editing Metadata
Right-click a book and choose Edit Metadata to edit:
| Field | Description |

JSON Patch Import
To update multiple fields at once, use the JSON patch format:

Shelves
Shelves are virtual collections defined by conditions (tags, language, publisher, etc.). Create a shelf from the sidebar using Add Shelf, then configure its matching conditions.
Search
Use the search bar at the top of the sidebar to search by title or author across your entire library.
