# CVS: Browse Tags Dialog Box

The CVS Browse Tags dialog box enables you to select an available branch or tag for the selected file or folder.

This dialog box is invoked by clicking the Browse button next to the Tag Name field or Branch field in the CVS Tag or CVS Branch dialog. It can also be invoked from the CVS Checkout dialog when checking out files from the repository. Select the desired tag by expanding the Branches or Tags node and choosing a tag from the list. You can also select HEAD if you want to select the entire trunk.

You use this dialog box when you want to perform the following actions:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Checkout a branch | When checking out files from a repository, select a tag or branch to limit your checkout to only those files or folders with that tag attached. Choose HEAD if you want to checkout the trunk.
Attach a tag | When attaching a tag to a file or folder in the repository, select a tag from the list to attach an existing tag.
Create a branch | When creating a branch, select a tag from the Branches node to tag the file or folder as being part of that branch.
Locate tagged files | When searching for specific versions of files or folders, you can specify a tag or branch to limit your search to only those file or folders with the specified tag.
