Problem

Is it possible to report on a tag set using the Reports tool? I created a tag set with a few tags attached but have not been able to find the properties to report on them.

Solution

One thing to be aware of is that this process will convert existing tags to text nodes. So it is best to try it with a test file to make sure that the end results won't negatively affect your design.
