 # Assign policy definitions for tag compliance
 
-You use [Azure Policy](../../governance/policy/overview.md) to enforce tagging rules and conventions. By creating a policy, you avoid the scenario of resources being deployed to your subscription that don't have the expected tags for your organization. Instead of manually applying tags or searching for resources that aren't compliant, you create a policy that automatically applies the needed tags during deployment. Tags can also now be applied to existing resources with the new [Modify](../../governance/policy/concepts/effects.md#modify) effect and a [remediation task](../../governance/policy/how-to/remediate-resources.md).

-You can group costs for an Azure resource by using the **cm-resource-parent** tag. This tag lets you review tagged costs in Microsoft Cost Management without having to use filters.

 ## Unique tags pagination
 
-When calling the [Unique Tags API](/rest/api/resources/tags/list) there's a limit to the size of each API response page that is returned. A tag that has a large set of unique values will require the API to fetch the next page to retrieve the remaining set of values. When this happens the tag key is shown again to indicate that the values are still under this key.

 ## Limitations
 
 The following limitations apply to tags:
 
 * Not all resource types support tags. To determine if you can apply a tag to a resource type, see [Tag support for Azure resources](tag-support.md).
-* Each resource type might have specific requirements when working with tags. For example, tags on virtual machine (VM) extensions can only be updated when the VM is running. If you receive an error message while trying to update a tag, follow the instructions in the message.
+* Each resource type might have specific requirements when working with tags. For example, you can only update tags on virtual machine (VM) extensions when the VM is running. If you receive an error message while trying to update a tag, follow the instructions in the message.
 * Each resource, resource group, and subscription can have a maximum of 50 tag name-value pairs. If you need to apply more tags than the maximum allowed number, use a JSON string for the tag value. The JSON string can contain many of the values that you apply to a single tag name. A resource group or subscription can contain many resources that each have 50 tag name-value pairs.
 * The tag name has a limit of 512 characters and the tag value has a limit of 256 characters. For storage accounts, the tag name has a limit of 128 characters and the tag value has a limit of 256 characters.
 * Classic resources such as Cloud Services don't support tags.
-* Azure IP Groups and Azure Firewall Policies don't support PATCH operations. PATCH API method operations, therefore, can't update tags through the portal. Instead, you can use the update commands for those resources. You can update tags for an IP group, for example, with the [az network ip-group update](/cli/azure/network/ip-group#az-network-ip-group-update) command.
