Describe the feature you'd like

I would to edit tags/attachments of a page without needing to edit page > open side bar > edit tags/attachment > save page. But in the when view the page itself (if the user has the permission), it will editing with ease in a less amount of time

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

The ability is to add tags is quite hidden. I did not even notice there is such an option till I saw this video. Since I already made a quite a few pages/books, just editing a page to add a tags is quite time consuming. Having it as action will make users editing tags with ease (especially for users like me who found this feature late in the game). It would be preferable to have an page open up like editing the permissions or a modal window to edit tags, then save/refresh for changes to take effect.

Furthermore, I recommend adding info on tags in the docs. While tags are briefly mentioned here about how to tag search but its never mentioned where to add tags or how it can be used (other than the video which I saw by chance will looking about OIDC). Attachments do have a good documentation but its similar to tags when it comes to editing it at a later stage.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

edit page > open side bar > edit tags/attachments > save page
