Sitecore Cortex Tagging for Predefined Tags

Question

I am using Sitecore 10.2 and also using Sitecore Cortex Content Tagging. I have different tag which is being created in Sitecore. I want to tag content that is available in tags only, I don't want to create new tags. I did not find any document related to this. Could you please help?

There is no out-of-the-box setting that will allow to disable creation of new tags.

However, you can create a custom taxonomy provider for Sitecore Content Tagging and implement your own logic in the CreateTags method or simply override the method CreateTag of DefaultTaxonomyProvider:

public class CustomTaxonomyProvider : DefaultTaxonomyProvider
{ 
    protected override ID CreateTag(TagData data)
    {
        //your logic for creating or skipping a tag
        return tagId;
    }
}

Then your custom taxonomy provider can be registered in the config to be used in Content Tagging functionality:

<contentTagging>
    <providers>
        <taxonomy>
            <add name="CustomTaxonomyProvider" type="Namespace.CustomTaxonomyProvider, AssemblyName" />
        </taxonomy>
    </providers>
</contentTagging>

Sitecore documentation for custom Content Tagging providers can be found here.
