#### Lesson text

**Labels** allow you to categorize and organize the existing content types of your stack.

You can create and apply labels to group content types for easy access. Labels provide a convenient way of classifying content types based on specific criteria.

# **Video: How to create and manage Labels**

The following video shows how to create and manage labels and how to navigate content types and entries using such labels.

# **Understanding with an example**

Let's understand this using the below diagram:

![CSendUserTraining\_L5\_img-1.png](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltebc53cfaf0dd6403/blt15bd7e47554c7fb3/67ddc00b983a65c32d3b8054/CSendUserTraining_L5_img-1.png)

Consider that we have two teams, 'Marketing' and 'Writers,' each with content types, as shown in the diagram above. If you want to organize these content types into groups/folders, create two labels, 'Marketing' and 'Writers,' and apply these labels to the content types of each respective team.

Thus, labels provide a convenient way of classifying content types based on specific criteria. Also, labels are not private. The labels you create for a particular stack are visible to all the users, so make sure you discuss with your team how you would like to produce labels.

**Potential Use Case**:

*   Labels are the best option for organizing content entries based on Labeling and creating an easy way to navigate filtered entries.
    
*   Nested Labels allow the creation of a hierarchy for entities for quick navigations to filtered entries.

#### Key takeaways

- Connect **Labels** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module.
- Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment.
- Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model.
