When you make annotations (underline) in the Student's view to provide individualised feedback, you can also select Keyword Tags from the dropdown list.

The Keyword tags will be tabulated and displayed under the Error Tracker tab in Learning Progress.

Note:

The questions must be tagged to a Content Map which contains Error Tags (only Content Approvers can add error tags to their Content Map). The questions that the annotations are anchored to must also be included in Learning Progress (enabled in component settings).
Error Tags by Language Feedback Assistant for English and Feedback Assistant - Mathematics will also be automatically tracked if the questions that they are marking have the same conditions as above.
