How to add categories to your sections

Add a category

Categories are created in the section's settings, behind this gear.

Under Section categories, All comes first: it's the default category, created with the section. The numbers count the articles in each.

To add one, click Add a category… and type its name, here Youth. Press Enter to save it.

Youth joins the end of the list, and of the bar in the preview.

It's empty for now. To add articles, go back to the section and click Edit the content.

The Categories column shows where each article is filed. Open one… and in its Info tab, Appears in shows its categories: All and Golf.

Tick Youth as well: an article can be in several categories.

Each category, All included, lists only the articles ticked in it. Save, then do the same for each article you want in Youth.

In the preview, Youth now lists its five articles.

Back in the settings, drag a category to move it in the bar. Here, Youth goes right after All… and the bar follows.

Hover a category to show its icons. The crossed-out eye hides it… it stays here, greyed out, but leaves the bar. The eye shows it again.

Youth is back. The trash can deletes a category… and when it holds articles, you confirm first. Here, Cancel.

All, the default category, has no trash can: it can't be deleted.

Click a category to open its own settings: its name, up to 32 characters, and the order of its articles. The preview shows it too.

By default, the newest come first. You can also sort them by position, alphabetically, or by most commented.

Choose Sort by position, and Save.

To set the positions, open Section content from the Edit menu above the preview… and choose Youth. A Position column appears.

Put the referees story in position 1… and it now leads Youth in the preview.

The look of the bar is set in the section's Categories card: our video on designing categories shows how.

Your categories reach your app once you publish its update, with Publish my project.
