All the categories on the site can be edited and moved around. For example, a new photo gallery or article section could be created.

Using the admin section to manage categories

Administrators and editors only
Advanced managing of categories can be done in the ‘categories’ section of the admin menu.

Click on ‘administer’, then ‘categories’. You will be presented with a list of all the vocabularies and categories on the site. Vocabularies are the containers for a set of categories - eg Articles is a vocabulary containing all the article categories.

On the administer categories page, you will see (from left to right):

• Name - the vocabulary or category name;
• Node types - the types of page which can be placed in this vocabulary.
• Operations
  
  • edit vocabulary - change the name, node types and structure of the vocabulary.
  • add term - add a new term or category to this vocabulary
  • preview form - preview the category selection form as you’d see it when adding or editing a page.

Categories are very powerful when set up correctly. They can provide a structured index for your content, as well as allowing for related pages and searching. Some advanced information on categories can be found here.
