== Introduction ==
In ActiveCampaign, the feature to '''use labels with campaigns''' allows users to efficiently organize their campaigns through a flexible and intuitive system. Labels serve as a method for grouping campaigns—enabling categorization by '''keyword''', '''topic''', '''audience''', '''purpose''', or any larger initiatives you may have. For instance, if you have several campaigns aimed at re-engaging contacts, adding a label such as "Re-engagement" can streamline your workflow.

Utilizing labels not only aids in organization but also enhances the ability to filter campaigns quickly, enabling users to navigate the Campaigns overview page with ease. Labels present an advantage over traditional folders, offering the flexibility to assign multiple labels to a single campaign. 

This article will provide detailed instructions on creating, applying, editing, removing, and deleting labels from the Campaigns overview page.
