# Mercurial: Create Tag Dialog Box

Use the Create Tag dialog box to create a tag to refer to a particular changeset.

You access this dialog box by selecting a versioned project, file or folder and either:

- choosing Team > Mercurial > Tag > Create Tag from the main menu
- right-clicking the selected item and choose Mercurial > Tag > Create Tag

In the Create Tag dialog box, you have to set the following properties:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Tag Name | Specify the name of the tag being created.
Revision | Displays a specific revision you want to tag. The default value is parent of the working copy. Click Select to open the Select Revision to Tag dialog box where you can view the list of revisions maintained in the repository and choose the required one.
Message | Enter a comment to be included with the tag.
Local Tag | Select to add a tag to the selected revision (no commit is made and the tag remains only in the local repository). If left unselected, the selected revision is tagged and the tag is a new commit that is pushed to a remote repository with an upcoming Mercurial push.

Click Create to add the tag to the specified revision.
