I just discovered that as of this morning (12-12-2021) we can see, add, or edit labels for matches in common on pages of our matches. Thank you for listening to your customers! One other request: on the list of all matches, please put the link for notes back on the same side as the notes themselves, or alternately, allow the note to display on hover as it does on the matches in common on a given match page. Going back and forth from one side of the page to the other is no big deal for one or two, but when I need to look at notes for a larger number of matches, it becomes an unnecessary waste of time and wrist motion having to go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and ...

These labels are handy. On one of the other sites I've been using the labels to group matches by our most recent common ancestor (MRCA) or most recent common ancestoral couple. Lately I've been wanting a way to filter my matches based on the chromosome where we match (1 - 22) in order to do triangulation with multiple matches to "prove" our distant MRCAs and I think using labels may be a way to do that. It will take a bit of manual work to tag all the matches I want to work with, but it should help figure out some missing relationships.
