Select up to five top tags to appear first under their filter.

The custom filters are displayed throughout Private Bot Store, including:

In the top navigation, filters on the left, and search results.
On the listing submission form, where bot builders can select custom tags for their bots.
On bot detail pages, where users can see how each bots is categorized.
