 ### The "plus" operator
-If placed at the front of the model selector, `+` will select all ancestors of the selected model and the model itself. If placed at the end of the string, `+` will select all descendants of the selected model and the model itself.
+The `+` operator expands your selection to include ancestors (upstream dependencies) or descendants (downstream dependencies) of a resource. This operator works for individual models, tags, and other resources.
 
+- Placed after a model/resource — Includes the resource itself and all its descendants (downstream dependencies).
+- Placed before a model/resource — Includes the resource itself and all its ancestors (upstream dependencies).
+- Placed on both sides of a model/resource — Includes the resource itself, all its ancestors, and all its descendants.
 
-   ```bash
+```bash
 dbt run --select "my_model+"         # select my_model and all descendants
 dbt run --select "+my_model"         # select my_model and all ancestors
 dbt run --select "+my_model+"        # select my_model, and all of its ancestors and descendants
-  ```
+```
 
+You can use it with selectors for a more specific scope in your commands. You can also combine it with [`--exclude`](/reference/node-selection/exclude) flag for even more finer control over what gets included in your command.

 Apply a tag (or list of tags) to a resource.
 
 These tags can be used as part of the [resource selection syntax](/reference/node-selection/syntax), when running the following commands:
-- `dbt run --select tag:my_tag`
-- `dbt build --select tag:my_tag`
-- `dbt seed --select tag:my_tag`
-- `dbt snapshot --select tag:my_tag`

+- `dbt build --select tag:my_tag` — Build all resources tagged with a specific tag.

+#### Using tags with the `+` operator
+You can use the [`+` operator](/reference/node-selection/graph-operators#the-plus-operator) to include upstream or downstream dependencies in your `tag` selection:
+- `dbt run --select tag:my_tag+` — Run models tagged with `my_tag` and all their downstream dependencies.
+- `dbt run --select +tag:my_tag` — Run models tagged with `my_tag` and all their upstream dependencies.
+- `dbt run --select +model_name+` — Run a model, its upstream dependencies, and its downstream dependencies.
+- `dbt run --select tag:my_tag+ --exclude tag:exclude_tag` — Run model tagged with `my_tag` and their downstream dependencies, and exclude models tagged with `exclude_tag`, regardless of their dependencies.
