I think it used to be the case that if I "exploded" a tag (alt + click on tag to delete it) that the cursor would appear in the place that the tag had been, but lately I have noticed that the cursor sometimes remains in the last place it was and other times it appears at the beginning of the task where the exploded tag had been (I generally tag at the end of a bullet) and it's getting kind of frustrating

  Thanks, we'll take a look. There are a batch of cursor placement bugs we need to fix.

  Exploding tags is a desktop/ desktop browser app dynamic. On desktop you would use a keyboard shortcut... for Windows: Alt+Click on a tag. You can't explode tags on mobile just yet.

  Ok thank you. I use an onscreen keyboard that has some functions of a real one, but not all. I still appreciate the response.

  There is no support article for "Explode". Soo... it's just a way to delete one instance of a tag?

  We have an older blog post on the exploding. It's been shown in a couple of videos... so it's not super secret... but it's not intuitive either. One would never think to Alt+Click on any tag just for kicks.

  :-)  Agree. My point/advice is that features should be documented. 

  The requirement to read the whole blog and watch a lot of videos on top of the documentation to find all the features is a big ask ;-)

  After having scoured the site and this thread, I still don't understand what exploding tags does and the name is too scary to just do it to find out.

  I really wish there was a docs file, or an index of Workflowy features.

  I went to the "learn" page but its very confusing, there is no "learn Workflowy" button or page that I can find.

  I remember years ago there was a single page that explained each feature but if that still exists I can't find it. 

  edit: Ok, I found the blog post and it says it "removes the tag from lots of places" so I was assuming it removed it from all posts but it seems to just remove it from the tag you click on.
  
  A single list of what each feature does would still be nice.
