Tagging and Crediting

Tagging links people or Recipe Room content to what you share. A credit records who contributed to a Post or Recipe, or points to an external source.

​

Tag people on a Post or Recipe

Use Tag user while creating or editing a Post or Recipe to select people without adding them to the caption or description. Search for their username and select their account. Reopen Tagged users to add or remove people. You can use this alongside text mentions. Removing someone from Tagged users also unlinks their corresponding caption or description mention while leaving the words in place. Their credit, if any, stays separate.

​

Tag something in your text

Type @ in a Post caption, Recipe description, Collection description, or comment, then choose a user, Post, Recipe, or Collection from the suggestions. The published tag stays tappable:

• A user tag opens that person’s Recipe Room profile.
• A Post tag opens the Post.
• A Recipe tag opens the Recipe.
• A Collection tag opens the Collection.

Your profile bio also supports user tags. Type @ while editing the bio and choose the account you want to mention. Published bio mentions open the person’s profile. Use tags when a person or piece of Recipe Room content belongs in what you are writing. User mentions in Post, Recipe, and Collection text or in comments can create a notification. A profile bio mention stays linked but does not send a mention notification. Tags to Posts, Recipes, or Collections open that content and do not notify a user.

​

Credit a Recipe Room user

Use Credit someone while creating or editing a Post or Recipe when someone contributed to the work.

1. Open Credit someone and choose Recipe Room.
2. Search for the person’s username.
3. Select their account.
4. Repeat if more than one person contributed, then save or publish.

You can credit up to 20 Recipe Room accounts. Newly credited users can receive a credit notification.

​

Credit an Instagram account

Choose Credit someone → Instagram and enter the account’s username. You can credit one Instagram account on a Post or Recipe, including someone who does not have a Recipe Room account. The credit opens their Instagram profile. It does not send a Recipe Room notification.

​

Credit an external source

For an external source, choose Credit someone → External links. Add a clear name and web address for each source, then save or publish. Each link appears with the content’s credits and opens outside Recipe Room. Both the name and a valid web address are required for every link. External links do not send a notification.

​

See tags and credits on a Post or Recipe

Open the tag badge on a published Post or Recipe photograph to see the people and sources connected to it:

• Tagged lists people selected through Tag user and people mentioned in the caption or description, with each person shown once.
• Credited lists Recipe Room users selected through Credit someone.
• Instagram credits open the credited account on Instagram.
• Credited links shows the external source names and websites.

Post, Recipe, and Collection tags remain tappable in the published text. Tagged lists people only; content tags open from their links in the text. User rows open the person’s profile and let you follow or unfollow them. External credits open their websites in your browser.

​

Tags, credits, and source Recipes

Tagging or crediting someone does not transfer ownership of their work and does not replace a Recipe source relationship. If your Recipe started from an existing Recipe, use Community or Forked so Recipe Room can keep the source attached. If your Post uses an existing Recipe, link that Recipe to the Post as well. The Recipe link explains the settings used; Credit someone records who else contributed or which outside source should be acknowledged. Read Recipe Types, Community Recipes, and How Posts and Recipes Connect for those relationships.
