Description

The functionality to create Tags is a bit hard to find.
You really need to know that you have to go to the Details view, then the three dots in the top right corner and choose Tags here.

Suggestion is to directly show the icon of Tags or Favorites in the details view, that you have 1 less click?

Current layout is
Current design where Tags & Favourites can be found via a submenu

Suggestion to make it slightly more findable
Our suggestion is to place the icons directly visible at the top right, possibly with a hover or something that the description will be shown. Functionality after clicking the Tags icon can remain the same, that seems clear enough.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the File Detail tab and its Details view, then trace the existing Tags and Favorites actions currently placed in the three-dot submenu. Done means the Tags and Favorites icons are directly visible in the details view while preserving their current behavior; use the issue screenshots to compare the placement.
