# How to Make Nested Tags

> You can nest tags in Bear to create a better organization for note. Nested sidebar tags are a good and efficient way to quickly find the notes you are looking for.

If you want a deeper way to organise your notes, Bear allows you to structure your tags in simple hierarchies. Let's say you have a _recipes_ tag which contains all your favorite food preparations, but you want to quickly find all the vegetarian ones. In this scenario all you have to do is to insert this tag in all your vegetarian recipes:

   **#recipes/vegetarian**

The `/` symbol tells Bear to manage the tag as a hierarchy where `recipes`  is the father tag and `vegetarian` is its child. 

All the parent tags will be shown in the _Sidebar_ with a little disclosure button on the side. Selecting the disclosure will show the child tags related to the current parent.

## Infinite nesting

For a more sophisticated tagging use as many tag levels you want. For example you can use dates as tags to have your notes sorted like in a journal. In the screenshot below we used tags like this: **#2017/02/27#**.
