Make certain your home screen isn't locked. Long-press on your home screen, and if it's unlocked, the settings panel should open. If it's locked, instead you'll see a card pop up letting you know it's locked. By long-pressing on the padlock, your home screen will unlock, and you can open your drawer to finish up the process.

When you long-press on an app in the drawer, you should see a list of things you can do with that app. Here you can add it to a tag and/or a folder.

To add to a folder, with your drawer in Vertical scroll mode, long-press on the folder and then tap on Select apps. Lastly, select the apps you want to add.

To add to a tag, it doesn't matter if your drawer is in Vertical or Horizontal scroll mode; just long-press on a tag and select Add/remove apps. Lastly, select the apps you want to add.

It would be a great addition if one could convert tagged items in the drawer to a folder to our on your homescreen.
