# Using labels

A Perforce label is a set of tagged file revisions. You can use labels to:

- Keep track of all the file revisions contained in a particular release of software. For example, you might tag a set of file revisions with a label of release2.0.1.
- Specify groups of related file revisions in operations such as getting file revisions (syncing) and integration.

To use labels, you first create the label and then apply the label to file revisions in the depot.

To create a label:

Use one of the following Perforce clients to create a label:

- p4 command-line client, see Creating a label for future use in the P4 CLI Documentation.
- P4V visual client, see Create labels in the P4 Visual Client (P4V) Documentation.
