You can add tags by either dragging and dropping them from elsewhere, for example either from search results or from the Basket or by manually adding them via the "Add Tags" option in the settings  menu.  Use the lock icon to lock and unlock the trend area so you can zoom and scroll axis (time and magnitude).
