# Labels

Labels provide a quick and effective way to classify and group issues, making it easier to search, filter, and manage issues and tasks.

### Add labels to your issues

To add labels to your project issues:

1. Click on an issue to open the issue detail page.
2. Click on the *Add label* button and choose the desired label from the dropdown menu.

Alternatively, you can use the contextual menu by right-clicking on the issue you wish to update in the list of issues and selecting *Label*. Then, choose the labels you want from the dropdown menu. This allows you to change the properties of multiple issues on the same page without opening each issue's details page.

### New/Customized labels

You can now create labels directly from the labels dropdown in your issues panel if you want to add additional or customized labels to the existing labels list. This feature makes it quicker to add labels while creating issues.

You can also create labels from the *team settings* page*.* Select *Labels* under *Team* in the left sidebar and add more labels to your list.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need Admin permissions to be able to create new labels or make changes to the team settings if you are on the Pro plan.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://iteration-x.gitbook.io/help-documentation/issue-properties/labels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
