Add, edit, activate or remove a category

  • Use Add Category to create a new label in the selected module.

Category naming best practice

  • Use language members already understand.
  • Avoid overlapping labels such as Updates and Latest Updates.
  • Keep the number of categories manageable.
  • Use audience-based categories only when the visibility model is clear.
  • Review unused categories before adding new ones.

Category checklist

  • The correct module tab is selected.
  • The name is concise and distinct.
  • The description explains the intended content.
  • Status is Active when creators need to use it.
  • Existing content remains findable after a change.

Common issues

Confirm it was created under the same module and remains Active.

Merge or retire overlapping categories after checking existing content.

Deleting a category may affect content

Deactivate first and review dependent items before permanent removal.
