168+ Labels are a way to organize and prioritize submissions. You can apply labels
169+ to patches and cover letters to signify priority, category, or any other marker
170+ you wish.
171+
172+ Labels can be either global or tied to the project they are created in. Labels
173+ can have an optional description attached, which will provide a little insight
174+ into the purpose of the label. Labels are completely customizable and the
175+ labels available will vary by instance.
176+
177+ Labels are parsed out of the square brackets of the subject line.
178+ For example, subject line ``[RFC, main] Add tests `` may cause the patch to be
179+ labeled with ``RFC `` and ``main ``, if such labels were created for the project
180+ or instance. Labels can be created in the admin panel.
181+
182+ .. note ::
183+
184+ In order to refresh the list of labels for existing patches, for example
185+ after updating Patchwork or adding a new label in the admin panel,
186+ use the :ref: `command-relabel ` management command.
