Actor tags are still quite common in Unreal engine, there are really useful for instance to [filter out actors](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/finding-actors-in-unreal-engine#getspecificactorswithtag), in blueprint or [pcg graphs](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/procedural-content-generation-framework-node-reference-in-unreal-engine#filter).\
\
Compared to [Gameplay tags](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/using-gameplay-tags-in-unreal-engine), they are simple strings that you can add or remove from actors ( or components ). This is quite error prone, as a simple typo can break your systems.\
\
This utility widget allows you to create libraries of tags and assign and remove them with just a click.\
There is also a system of callbacks, when you assign or remove a tag, an editor utility blueprint function can be automatically executed to have custom post processes.
