Categories organize your guide library into navigable sections — both for your team's internal browsing and for your public-site visitors. This guide covers creating, organizing, and using categories effectively.

How Categories Work

Every guide can belong to one or more categories. Categories appear:

Creating Categories

  1. Go to Categories in the admin nav

  2. Click New Category

  3. Give it a name (e.g. "Caribbean", "Adventure Travel", "Internal Training")

  4. Optionally pick a parent (categories can nest one level deep — "Caribbean" under "Destinations")

  5. Optionally write a description (shows on the category landing page)

  6. Save

Adding Guides to Categories

In any guide's editor, the right-hand panel has a Categories section. Click and pick from your existing categories — a guide can be in multiple.

Public-Site Behavior

On your public site:

Reordering Categories

On the Categories admin page, drag categories to reorder. The order you set is the order they appear on your public site.

Renaming or Deleting

Rename a category any time — all guides keep their assignment. Deleting a category removes it from all guides (the guides themselves stay; they just become uncategorized).
