When items are saved to a Zotero library using the [[getting_stuff_into_your_library#web_translators|Zotero Browser Connector]], tags are sometimes automatically added to items. For example, OPAC library catalogs provide subject headings for their records, which are saved as Zotero tags. Automatic tags behave the same as manually added tags but are marked by a red icon in the "Tags" tab of the right-hand Zotero pane (versus the blue icon for regular tags). | When items are saved to a Zotero library [[adding_items_to_zotero#web_translators|from the web]], tags are sometimes automatically added to items.
