Add categories and tags to content items

You can add categories and tags to a content item either when creating it or when editing it. You do this by clicking Categories and tags section under the content editing area where you create, upload, or edit a content item.

The following video demonstrates how you can organize your Sitefinity CMS content using classifications:

1. In the Categories and tags section, under Categories, click the + sign to select from the list with categories.
   A list with all recently used categories is displayed, along with information of the categories' hierarchy. Start typing to narrow down the list.

   NOTE: When working in multilingual mode, categories are added to all translations of the content item.

        The category you want to create is under another category. For example, animals can be the parent category of mammals, and mammals can be the parent category of cats.
        A list of existing categories appears. Select the parent category of the new category or narrow down the list by typing.
