Concepts
What are concepts?
With concepts, you can organize your tags in groups. For example, you can choose the tag "Europe" as the supertag (the name of the concept), and then you can add the tags "Germany", "France" and "Italy" as subtags. This way, these tags are grouped together. That means, if you search with the concept "Europe", you get all bookmarks/publications that are tagged with one of the subtags (meaning "Germany", "France" or "Italy") as a result.
This is useful if you often search for bookmarks/publications belonging to a specific topic.
