# Where we can place the custom tag?

Custom tags can be stored in any of the following locations. ColdFusion will search for them in the order listed.\
In the same directory as the calling page - while this is easy for demonstration purposes, it's not very practical, as it means that the custom tag is only available within that directory.\
In a directory (or subdirectory of a directory) specified in ColdFusion Administrator under Extensions -> Custom Tag Paths.\
In the cfusion/CustomTags directory or one of its subdirectories.
