How do I remove a single tag "read" when I have "to-be-read", "a-read-2022", "read-for-fun". I don't want to remove "read" from those tags. Just the single tag on it's own.

I have the same problem with other tags. Basically, Goodreads mixes in the exclusive shelves with the regular bookshelves in it's export csv. I would like to set up a find/replace chain that removes those tags from the column without ha having to do it manually.

Also, is there a way of removing multiple different tags in a column in one go?
Because it presents flat lists I find the Manage Categories tool is the best place to start on cleaning up Tags, Authors, Publishers etc. It can be added to toolbars and menus and be given a shortcut key, I have it in the book list context menu and I've given it Ctrl+Shift+C.

I find the best way to remove multiple tags from a book is: highlight the Tags cell and press Shift+F2, select the Tags you don't want on the RHS list, click the left arrow in the middle, click OK.
