Several times I’ve wanted to delete a tag, but haven’t been sure if it’s used in any tag bindings anywhere. It would be nice to have an option to highlight a tag and find where it’s been used. Even if it’s just a text list of locations like “Window A, Root Container.Label 1.visible” it would be helpful.

This is a good idea. Maybe it could be simply as easy as a shortcut to the FIND/REPLACE feature of Ignition Designer:

Excellent idea. There have been times this would have helped me as well.
