# Labels

<Frame>![Example labels](https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/plain-mattvagni-patch-1/public/images/labels-introduction.png)</Frame>

Labels are a lightweight and powerful way to categorize threads in Plain.

We recommend categorizing threads into topics so you immediately know, at a glance, what people are getting in touch about.

For example:

* "Bug report"
* "Sales" or "Demo request"
* "Feedback" or "Feature requests"
* "API question"
* "Security"
* "Hiring"
* etc.

In combination with setting thread priorities, labels can unlock powerful workflows and let you quickly triage your threads to work on what matters most, first.

To configure your labels, press ⌘ + K and search for "Manage labels" or go to **Settings** → **Labels**. Here you can define the icon and name your labels.

A thread can have multiple labels. They are displayed throughout the Plain UI wherever threads are visible.

In many cases, it's also useful to add labels to threads programmatically.
