Find and manage workspaces faster with workspace tags (Generally Available)

If you haven’t already, check out Arun Ulag’s hero blog “FabCon and SQLCon 2026: Unifying databases and Fabric on a single, complete platform” for a complete look at all of our FabCon and SQLCon announcements across both Fabric and our database offerings. 

Add shared context to a workspace so people can quickly discover the right place to work and admins can govern at scale.

Fabric Tags adds meaningful metadata so people can find the right content faster and organize it consistently.

That capability is now available for workspaces. Workspace tags add shared context (like team, project or cost center) at the workspace level, helping teams discover and manage workspaces more efficiently, while also enabling scalable governance through APIs.

Create and apply tags

Workspace tags are built on the existing Fabric tags model: tags are defined once, then applied where they provide the most value.
  1. Create tags: Tenant and domain admins can create tags for their respective scopes, providing flexibility in how tagging is governed across an organization.
  2. Apply tags to workspaces: Workspace admins can apply and remove tags in workspace settings, making it easy to add shared context at the workspace level. A workspace can have up to 10 tags applied.

Discover the right workspace faster

Improve workspace discoverability by making it easier to identify and filter workspaces using consistent metadata. Workspace tags are surfaced in key discovery experiences so they’re usable in day-to-day navigation:
  1. Filter by tags: Workspaces can be filtered by tags both in the workspaces list and in OneLake Catalog Explorer, making it easy to narrow down to a specific set.

2. View applied tags: A tags indicator appears in the workspaces list and in OneLake Catalog Explorer next to every tagged workspace, with tag names available on hover.

Also, tag names are shown on the workspace screen itself, making the workspace context immediately visible.

Automate workspace tags with Fabric APIs

Tagging can be retrieved and managed at scale using APIs, enabling consistent application and reporting across workspaces.

Workspace tags are designed to be accessible programmatically so governance and inventory workflows can be automated:

  1. Workspace tags can be created / applied / removed via tags APIs.
  2. Workspace tags are returned via get / list workspaces APIs (for both user and admin endpoints).
  3. Scanner APIs return workspace tag metadata as part of scan results (coming soon).

Get started

  1. A general overview about tags: Tag your data to enrich item curation and discovery.
  2. Learn how tags are defined and used across Fabric: Create and manage a set of tags.
  3. Explore the tags APIs: Tags REST APIs.
