# Set Tags in Akto

If you are tracking and testing multiple environments through Akto, you can **tag** your API collections as **Staging** or **Production**.

It will help you in triaging alerts - for example, urgency for a new Sensitive Data in `Production` vs `Staging` . Similarly, testing shouldn't be done on collections marked as `Production`.

To set tag for an API collection, go to **API Discovery** > **API Collections**. Select any number of API Collections from the table and click on `Set tags`.

Note that collections that have the word `demo` or `staging` in them are already marked as `Staging`.

### Custom Tags

In addition to the default Production and Staging environments, **you can set custom tags** for your API collections in Akto.

This flexibility allows you to better organize and manage your API collections according to your specific deployment stages, testing requirements, or organizational needs. For example, you might want to create environment tags types like 'Development', 'QA', or 'Pre-Production' to match your workflow or maybe data source tags.
