Organize Your Social Data with Nested Tag Collections
Managing complex tag libraries just got easier. You can now build multi-level tag hierarchies up to seven levels deep in Sprout Social—giving your organization a flexible, structured taxonomy that reflects how your teams actually work.
What’s New
- Multi-Level Taxonomies: Move beyond flat tag lists. Structure tags by brand, region, campaign, product line, care workflow, or audience segment with up to 7 nested sub-collections.
- Tag in Context Across Sprout: Seamlessly browse, search, and apply tags within your collection hierarchy across the Smart Inbox, Compose, Automated Rules, Macros, Feeds, and Post Performance. Hovering over any tag reveals its full collection path (e.g., Bakeries > Flavors > Gluten-Free).
- Targeted Reporting & Filtering: Drill down into specific collection levels across report filters and inbox views to evaluate performance data for distinct sub-categories.
- Full Taxonomy Export: Export your entire tag hierarchy to CSV with complete collection paths for easy sharing, auditing, or team alignment.
