# Process flow labels

## Introduction

Labels are used to tag/organise process flows in whatever way you need:

Labels can be applied to both process flows and [virtual environments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/about-virtual-environments.md). All labels created are added to the same 'pool' - i.e. labels created from within a process flow can also be used to tag virtual environments, and vice versa.&#x20;

Process flow labels can be created and applied from [process flow settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/managing-process-flows/process-flow-labels/adding-new-process-flow-labels.md).

Labels can also be created via [label management options in general settings](/product-documentation/general-settings/label-management.md).&#x20;

When you register for a Patchworks account, two labels are added to your company profile automatically - `production` and `staging`. If these aren't relevant to your needs, you can choose to [update/remove](/product-documentation/process-flows/managing-process-flows/process-flow-labels/adding-new-process-flow-labels.md) them.
{% endhint %}
