Categories provide a shared organizational system for content across the platform. They are managed from Admin > Categories.
Categories are agnostic — a single category can organize products, articles, and pages simultaneously. Creating a category like "Featured" makes it available across all content types that opt into it.

When editing a product, article, or page, use the Categories field to assign one or more categories. Content can belong to multiple categories simultaneously.

Categories can be used in site navigation through Site Config > Navigation. Menu items with the category type automatically generate sub-links from a table's live categories, creating dynamic dropdown menus that update as categories are added or removed.
