Hi,

Next in the library, I found that a tiny 3 dots appeared when clicking on the Tag. After clicking the dots, then click "New Term". This is the only way it appears for users to add a new term to the set.
It's a horrible UX element in my opinion; No users are able to find it on their own, so they get a bit frustrated and need guidance to show them.
