Why can't I add certain tags to my shared notebook?

[jbar 0]

I would love to know why this is happening.  Please don't say, "you can't add tags that don't already exist in a shared notebook, even if you created that notebook."

 

Anyone?

The owner of the notebook must create original tags for a shared notebook. Users with edit permission who have joined this shared notebook will then be able to add any already existing tags to notes in that notebook. We suggest the owner of the notebook to create a note with a library of tags to choose from in the shared notebook.

The policy discusses guests not being able to add tags to shared notebooks;  I can't add a new tag to a notebook which I own but have shared with someone else.

 

Message provided: Only tags that are already in this notebook can be added to this note.

I am having the same trouble. I opened a personal notebook and tried to tag a new note, but I get the message: Only tags that are already in this notebook can be added to this note. 

 

How do I add tags to the notebook itself?? Confused. 

 

Thanks!

has anyone gotten an answer to this?  I had an employee start the account and he is no longer here.
