Personal Tags: Personal tags are for your use only. When you create a personal tag, it can be used and viewed only by you.
Global Tags: Global tags can be used and viewed by anyone who has rights to view the workspace, folder, or entry where a global tag is implemented. For example, if you create a global tag on the Files folder in your team workspace, then anyone with View rights to the Files folder can use the tag you created to tag other places with the same tag name. They can also use Vibe Search and Find features to locate entries that have been tagged with that tag name.
You can tag places and entries with a global tag only if you have appropriate rights.
