# Using labels on edge servers

You can user the P4 Server in a multi-server environment. To learn more, see Deployment architecture in the P4 Server Administration Documentation. For example, in a Commit-Edge environment, some users connect to an Edge server to execute commands. When connected to an Edge server, the commands p4 label, p4 labelsync, and p4 tag operate on labels local to the Edge server. By default, such labels are visible only on the Edge server. However, global labels can be manipulated by using the `-g` option of p4 label or p4 tag.

Using the `-g` option with `p4 labelsync` only works if the client has a global view. To manipulate a global label, use `p4 tag`. To learn more, see "Setting global client views" under Client workspaces and client views.
