Add an "Expand/Collapse All Tags" button in the problem section.

I usually keep tags hidden, but sometimes (e.g., in the graph module) I need to see all tags to skip topics I don’t know. Manually expanding tags for each problem is tedious, and I don’t want to toggle global settings every time.

I need to see all tags to skip topics I don’t know.

huh, modules usually aren't supposed to involve topics not covered in the module itself / the prerequisites.

if you don't need to do this very often, what's wrong with toggling global settings?

sometimes, they have tags unrelated to module or the topics that i may have skipped for later.

Bad User experience (moving back and forth between pages), global settings affects all pages, making changes to all pages.

Also, It would be a nice feature to add. Which works within the page itself.

can you give an example?

sorry, would need to find. I might try it later.

I do remember tags Spanning Tree, SCC and PIE given.

Either

• The problem is misplaced and should be somewhere else instead.
• Knowing these topics can be helpful but is not required to solve the problem.

I wouldn't suggest toggling all tags just for this reason. Instead, you should try the problem for a bit without the tags and maybe open the tags later if you suspect the problem is misplaced. After all, in an actual contest you wouldn't have access to the tags.
