newcomer's question: how to add labels to issues?

[KarenTessmer]

Heyo,
I'm entirely new to github and would like to label the issues I posted about ShapeOut. However, I have no idea how to do that. When I look at the repository, there are no checkboxes next to the created issues, so I cannot activate them to assign them a label. Is there another way to do that? Or is that not possible for everyone?
Thanks for the info,
Karen

This is a good idea. Currently only owners of the repository can do that. Looks like this is possible via the issue template (isaacs/github#148). I will take a look.

You should have received an invitation to the Collaborators team. Once you join, you will be able to edit issue labels (amongst other things).
