  • This is a follow-up to [Should we use more specific version tags for software?]
  • The referred question is about tagging software, more specifically software versions and presents the case of `windows-10-21h1`, which is an operative system.
  • One of the answers mentions the `ms-office`, but it doesn't consider that some companies like Google and Microsoft use the same "brand" for all the platforms Windows, Mac, Web, Android, iPhone and iPad, etc.
  • i.e. Nowadays, "Microsoft Office" is "Microsoft 365". While the apps for all the platforms have the same name, their look and feel is not the same and not all the features are available on all platforms.
  • We already have a question about how to sort numbers separated by commas in MS Word. Thanks to the screenshot, it's evident that the OP is using a MS Word version for Windows. Let say that I would like to make a follow-up question about the same but using apps for different platforms:
  • - Word app for the Web
  • - Word app for Android
  • How should these questions be tagged?

Tagging questions about crossplatform software
This is a follow-up to [Should we use more specific version tags for software?]

The referred question is about tagging software, more specifically software versions and presents the case of `windows-10-21h1`, which is an operative system.

One of the answers mentions the `ms-office`, but it doesn't consider that some companies like Google and Microsoft use the same "brand" for all the platforms Windows, Mac, Web, Android, iPhone and iPad, etc.

i.e. Nowadays, "Microsoft Office" is "Microsoft 365". While the apps for all the platforms have the same name, their look and feel is not the same and not all the features are available on all platforms.

We already have a question about how to sort numbers separated by commas in MS Word. Thanks to the screenshot, it's evident that the OP is using a MS Word version for Windows. Let say that I would like to make a follow-up question about the same but using apps for different platforms:

- Word app for the Web
- Word app for Android

How should these questions be tagged?
