Using managed metadata in SharePoint content
Managed metadata terms are added to SharePoint content using managed metadata-type site columns. Managed metadata can be used on both lists and libraries.
When a term is added to a site column, it is referenced with the term’s unique ID, so if the term changes, the link to SharePoint will remain intact.
Using terms in pages, documents, and list items
On the information panel on lists and libraries, there are two ways to add terms to list items or documents. Users can search for a term and the column will begin suggesting matching terms as shown in Figure 8.9:
Figure 8.8 - Adding a term on the information panel
Another way is to open a term set browser (Figure 8.9) from the small tag icon on the right side of the column (Figure 8.8):

If the column is set as multi-valued, users can search for more terms or select desired terms on the term...
