Tag cleanup without the guesswork

Tagfold adds a page under Project Settings for reviewing and tidying work item tags.

Real usage counts

Project tag definitions with observed counts of work items that use each tag. Counts do not include pull request label usage.

Near-duplicates grouped

Tags with the same word in a different case, or a likely typo, appear together.

Rename

Rename a shared project tag definition through Azure DevOps.

Merge

Move the source tag to the target on work items you can access. Restricted work items and PR labels stay unchanged. The source tag definition stays in the project; delete it separately with confirmation.

Delete with confirmation

The affected count is shown up front, and you type the tag's name to confirm.

Safe with concurrent edits

Merge re-reads each work item's tags right before writing, so another person's new tag is not dropped. A cancelled or interrupted merge can leave completed updates in place; there is no guaranteed automatic rollback, and a dispatched update may have an unknown outcome. Check the receipt and current tags before retrying.

Runs in your browser

Operations run in your Azure DevOps organization

Tagfold reads and updates tags with your own Azure DevOps sign-in. It can download tags.csv with tag names and observed work item counts, plus a merge receipt listing work item IDs, source and target names, results, and error details. Protect downloaded files under your organization's rules.

Tagfold has no Bacumi backend or account and collects no usage analytics.

Permissions and scope

  • vso.work_write, needed to rename, merge, and delete tags on work items.
  • If you don't have permission to change tags in a project, Tagfold tells you so.
  • Bulk apply or remove from query results is not included; Azure DevOps already does this. Bulk deletion of tags with zero observed work item usage is also unavailable in the launch release; zero work item usage does not confirm that a tag is unused as a pull request label.
