Associating Tags to Questions

Overview

HackerRank for Work allows you to set the difficulty level for your questions by assigning appropriate tags. Based on the complexity of a question, you can associate the tags as Easy, Medium, or Hard. You can also associate custom Tags to identify your question by subject categories or other parameters such as 'Algorithm', 'Problem Solving', etc. This article will walk you through the steps in associating tags to a question. 

Note: You can add tags only to the 'My Company Questions'. HackerRank Library questions are non-editable, unless, you have cloned them. For further information on cloning, refer to the Cloning a Question article.
