-## Use tests from ANTA
-
-All the test classes inherit from the same abstract Base Class AntaTest. The Class definition indicates which commands are required for the test and the user should focus only on writing the `test` function with optional keywords argument. The instance of the class upon creation instantiates a TestResult object that can be accessed later on to check the status of the test ([unset, skipped, success, failure, error]).
-
-### Test structure
-
-All tests are built on a class named `AntaTest` which provides a complete toolset for a test:
-
-- Object creation
-- Test definition
-- TestResult definition
-- Abstracted method to collect data
-
-This approach means each time you create a test it will be based on this `AntaTest` class. Besides that, you will have to provide some elements:
-
-- `name`: Name of the test
-- `description`: A human readable description of your test
-- `categories`: a list of categories to sort test.
-- `commands`: a list of command to run. This list _must_ be a list of `AntaCommand` which is described in the next part of this document.

 ```
-
-When you run the test, object will automatically call its `anta.models.AntaTest.collect()` method to get device output for each command if no pre-collected data was given to the test. This method does a loop to call `anta.inventory.models.InventoryDevice.collect()` methods which is in charge of managing device connection and how to get data.
-
-??? info "run test offline"
-    You can also pass eos data directly to your test if you want to validate data collected in a different workflow. An example is provided below just for information:
-
-    ```python
-    test = VerifyTemperature(device, eos_data=test_data["eos_data"])
-    asyncio.run(test.test())
-    ```
-
-The `test` function is always the same and __must__ be defined with the `@AntaTest.anta_test` decorator. This function takes at least one argument which is a `anta.inventory.models.InventoryDevice` object.
-In some cases a test would rely on some additional inputs from the user, for instance the number of expected peers or some expected numbers. All parameters __must__ come with a default value and the test function __should__ validate the parameters values (at this stage this is the only place where validation can be done but there are future plans to make this better).
-
-```python
-class VerifyTemperature(AntaTest):
-    ...
-    @AntaTest.anta_test
-    def test(self) -> None:
-        pass
-
-class VerifyTransceiversManufacturers(AntaTest):
-    ...
-    @AntaTest.anta_test
-    def test(self, manufacturers: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> None:
-        # validate the manufactures parameter
-        pass
-```
-
-The test itself does not return any value, but the result is directly available from your AntaTest object and exposes a `anta.result_manager.models.TestResult` object with result, name of the test and optional messages:
-
-
-- `name` (str): Device name where the test has run.
-- `test` (str): Test name runs on the device.
-- `categories` (List[str]): List of categories the TestResult belongs to, by default the AntaTest categories.
-- `description` (str): TestResult description, by default the AntaTest description.
-- `results` (str): Result of the test. Can be one of ["unset", "success", "failure", "error", "skipped"].
-- `message` (str, optional): Message to report after the test if any.
-- `custom_field` (str, optional): Custom field to store a string for flexibility in integrating with ANTA
-
-```python
-from anta.tests.hardware import VerifyTemperature
-
-test = VerifyTemperature(device, eos_data=test_data["eos_data"])
-asyncio.run(test.test())
-assert test.result.result == "success"
-```
-
-### Classes for commands
-
-To make it easier to get data, ANTA defines 2 different classes to manage commands to send to devices:
-
-#### [AntaCommand](../api/models.md#anta.models.AntaCommand) Class
-
-Represent a command with following information:
-
-- Command to run
-- Output format expected
-- eAPI version
-- Output of the command
-
-Usage example:
-
-```python
-from anta.models import AntaCommand
-
-cmd1 = AntaCommand(command="show zerotouch")
-cmd2 = AntaCommand(command="show running-config diffs", ofmt="text")
-```
-
-!!! tip "Command revision and version"
-    * Most of EOS commands return a JSON structure according to a model (some commands may not be modeled hence the necessity to use `text` outformat sometimes.
-    * The model can change across time (adding feature, ... ) and when the model is changed in a non backward-compatible way, the __revision__ number is bumped. The initial model starts with __revision__ 1.
-    * A __revision__ applies to a particular CLI command whereas a __version__ is global to an eAPI call. The __version__ is internally translated to a specific __revision__ for each CLI command in the RPC call. The currently supported __version__ values  are `1` and `latest`.
-    * A __revision takes precedence over a version__ (e.g. if a command is run with version="latest" and revision=1, the first revision of the model is returned)
-    * By default, eAPI returns the first revision of each model to ensure that when upgrading, integrations with existing tools are not broken. This is done by using by default `version=1` in eAPI calls.
-
-    By default, ANTA uses `version="latest"` in AntaCommand, but when developing tests, the revision MUST be provided when the outformat of the command is `json`. As explained earlier, this is to ensure that the eAPI always returns the same output model and that the test remains always valid from the day it was created. For some commands, you may also want to run them with a different revision or version.
-
-    For instance, the `VerifyBFDPeersHealth` test leverages the first revision of `show bfd peers`:
-
-    ```
-    # revision 1 as later revision introduce additional nesting for type
-    commands = [AntaCommand(command="show bfd peers", revision=1)]
-    ```
-
-#### [AntaTemplate](../api/models.md#anta.models.AntaTemplate) Class
-
-Because some command can require more dynamic than just a command with no parameter provided by user, ANTA supports command template: you define a template in your test class and user provide parameters when creating test object.
-
-```python
-
-class RunArbitraryTemplateCommand(AntaTest):
-    """
-    Run an EOS command and return result
-    Based on AntaTest to build relevant output for pytest
-    """
-
-    name = "Run aributrary EOS command"
-    description = "To be used only with anta debug commands"
-    template = AntaTemplate(template="show interfaces {ifd}")
-    categories = ["debug"]
-
-    @AntaTest.anta_test
-    def test(self) -> None:
-        errdisabled_interfaces = [interface for interface, value in response["interfaceStatuses"].items() if value["linkStatus"] == "errdisabled"]
-        ...
-
-
-params = [{"ifd": "Ethernet2"}, {"ifd": "Ethernet49/1"}]
-run_command1 = RunArbitraryTemplateCommand(device_anta, params)
-```
-
-In this example, test waits for interfaces to check from user setup and will only check for interfaces in `params`

-# Tag management
+ANTA commands can be used with a `--tags` option. This option **filters the inventory** with the specified tag(s) when running the command.
 
-## Overview
+Tags can also be used to **restrict a specific test** to a set of devices when using `anta nrfu`.
 
-Some of the ANTA commands like `anta nrfu` command come with a `--tags` option.
+## Defining tags
 
-For `nrfu`, this allows users to specify a set of tests, marked with a given tag, to be run on devices marked with the same tag. For instance, you can run tests dedicated to leaf devices on your leaf devices only and not on other devices.
+### Device tags
 
-Tags are string defined by the user and can be anything considered as a string by Python. A [default one](#default-tags) is present for all tests and devices.
-
-The next table provides a short summary of the scope of tags using CLI
-
-| Command | Description |
-| ------- | ----------- |
-| `none` | Run all tests on all devices according `tag` definition in your inventory and test catalog. And tests with no tag are executed on all devices|
-| `--tags leaf` | Run all tests marked with `leaf` tag on all devices configured with `leaf` tag.<br/> All other tags are ignored |
-| `--tags leaf,spine` | Run all tests marked with `leaf` tag on all devices configured with `leaf` tag.<br/>Run all tests marked with `spine` tag on all devices configured with `spine` tag.<br/> All other tags are ignored |
-
-## Inventory and Catalog for tests
-
-All commands in this page are based on the following inventory and test catalog.
-
-=== "Inventory"
+Device tags can be defined in the inventory:
 
 ```yaml
-    ---
 anta_inventory:
   hosts:
-      - host: 192.168.0.10
-        name: spine01
-        tags: ['fabric', 'spine']
-      - host: 192.168.0.11
-        name: spine02
-        tags: ['fabric', 'spine']
-      - host: 192.168.0.12
-        name: leaf01
-        tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']

-      - host: 192.168.0.15
-        name: leaf04
-        tags: ['fabric', 'leaf'
+    - name: leaf1
+      host: leaf1.anta.arista.com

+    - name: leaf2
+      host: leaf2.anta.arista.com
+      tags: ["leaf"]
+    - name: spine1
+      host: spine1.anta.arista.com
+      tags: ["spine"]
 ```
 
-=== "Test Catalog"
+Each device also has its own name automatically added as a tag:
+
+```bash
+$ anta get inventory
+Current inventory content is:
+{
+    'leaf1': AsyncEOSDevice(
+        name='leaf1',
+        tags={'leaf', 'leaf1'},  <--
+        [...]
+        host='leaf1.anta.arista.com',
+        [...]
+    ),
+    'leaf2': AsyncEOSDevice(
+        name='leaf2',
+        tags={'leaf', 'leaf2'},  <--
+        [...]
+        host='leaf2.anta.arista.com',
+        [...]
+    ),
+    'spine1': AsyncEOSDevice(
+        name='spine1',
+        tags={'spine1', 'spine'},  <--
+        [...]
+        host='spine1.anta.arista.com',
+        [...]
+    )
+}
+```
+
+### Test tags
+
+Tags can be defined in the test catalog to restrict tests to tagged devices:
 
 ```yaml
 anta.tests.system:
   - VerifyUptime:
       minimum: 10
       filters:
-            tags: ['fabric']
+        tags: ['spine']
+  - VerifyUptime:
+      minimum: 9
+      filters:
+        tags: ['leaf']
   - VerifyReloadCause:
-          tags: ['leaf', spine']
+      filters:
+        tags: ['spine', 'leaf']
   - VerifyCoredump:
   - VerifyAgentLogs:
   - VerifyCPUUtilization:
-          filters:
-            tags: ['spine', 'leaf']
   - VerifyMemoryUtilization:
   - VerifyFileSystemUtilization:
   - VerifyNTP:
 
 anta.tests.mlag:
   - VerifyMlagStatus:
-
+      filters:
+        tags: ['leaf']
 
 anta.tests.interfaces:
   - VerifyL3MTU:
       mtu: 1500
       filters:
-            tags: ['demo']
+        tags: ['spine']
 ```
 
-## Default tags
+> A tag used to filter a test can also be a device name
 
-By default, ANTA uses a default tag for both devices and tests. This default tag is `all` and it can be explicit if you want to make it visible in your inventory and also implicit since the framework injects this tag if it is not defined.
+!!! tip "Use different input values for a specific test"
+    Leverage tags to define different input values for a specific test. See the `VerifyUptime` example above.
 
-So this command will run all tests from your catalog on all devices. With a mapping for `tags` defined in your inventory and catalog. If no `tags` configured, then tests are executed against all devices.
+## Using tags
+
+| Command | Description |
+| ------- | ----------- |
+| No `--tags` option | Run all tests on all devices according to the `tag` definitions in your inventory and test catalog.<br/> Tests without tags are executed on all devices. |
+| `--tags leaf` | Run all tests marked with the `leaf` tag on all devices configured with the `leaf` tag.<br/> All other tests are ignored. |
+| `--tags leaf,spine` | Run all tests marked with the `leaf` tag on all devices configured with the `leaf` tag.<br/>Run all tests marked with the `spine` tag on all devices configured with the `spine` tag.<br/> All other tests are ignored. |
+
+### Examples
+
+The following examples use the inventory and test catalog defined above.
+
+#### No `--tags` option
+
+Tests without tags are run on all devices.
+Tests with tags will only run on devices with matching tags.
