00:00 Using Tags in Archive Pages
In this video, we'll show you how to use tags to create tag archive pages. You can set up archive pages based on specific tags, ensuring that only articles with the corresponding tags will appear within those archives.
For example, as you see here, this archive page displays only articles tagged with *News*, *Products*, and *Investor Relations*.
00:26 Headlines Module
When you add tags to a Headlines module, the system automatically creates an archive or a "View More" button. This button links to an archive page that includes only the articles with the tags you've just added.
Clicking the "View More" button will lead you to a dedicated archive page that displays content with the corresponding tags.
00:56 Tagcloud
When you add a Tagcloud module, the system will generate tag buttons. Each button links directly to a corresponding tag archive page.
For example, when you click on a tag in the tag cloud, you’ll be directed to an archive page filtered by that specific tag.
01:27 Creating Archives via the URL
You can also manually create tag archive pages using the browser’s URL bar. Everything after `t=` in the URL represents a tag.
By editing the URL — either replacing the current tag or adding a comma and another tag — you can create an archive that combines multiple tags. For instance, you can create an archive showing articles tagged with either *Product* or *News*.

Finally, you can copy these tag archive URLs and use them to create custom archive buttons.
Simply add a new button in the Buttons module and paste the copied URL as the button link. This way, you can build your own set of archive buttons, each leading directly to a specific tag archive page.
