Categories let teams organize and filter published content by topic, department, or campaign. Each Category has a display name and a brand color that renders as a pill tag in the Creator UI. Categories are managed at **Settings → Categories** and can optionally be scoped to one or more Spaces. ### Prerequisites - **Account Type:** System Administrator. - Decide on a naming convention before creating Categories — they are visible to all Creators. Short, consistent names work best (e.g., `HR`, `Marketing`, `IT`). - Hex color values for each Category. Using your brand palette or department color scheme keeps the tag system coherent. ### Procedure ### Step 1 — Open Categories In the Settings left navigation, select **Categories**. ![](https://service.netpresenter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-39-41-4920-AM.png?width=202&height=313&name=image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-39-41-4920-AM.png) The **Categories** list opens. Each row shows a **color dot** and the category **Name**. Use the **What are you looking for?** search box to filter by name, and the **Sort by** dropdown to change the sort order (default: Name). ![](https://service.netpresenter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-39-56-9318-AM.png?width=928&height=613&name=image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-39-56-9318-AM.png) ### Step 2 — Create a new Category 1. Select **Add new** in the top-right. The **Add New Category** form opens. ![](https://service.netpresenter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-40-08-7826-AM.png?width=908&height=389&name=image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-40-08-7826-AM.png) 1. Fill in the fields: | Field | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | **Name** | Yes | The label shown to Creators when tagging content (e.g., `HR`, `Campaign`, `Q3 Launch`). | | **Color** | No | Hex color value for the category pill (e.g., `#4527BF`). Enter a value or select the swatch to open the color picker. The **Preview** pill updates in real time. | | **Spaces** | No | Restrict this Category to one or more Spaces. Leave empty (No spaces) to make it available in all Spaces. | 2. Check the **Preview** pill to confirm the name and color look correct. 3. Select **Add New Category** to save. > **Heads up:** Category names are visible to all Creators. Keep them short and unambiguous — a name like `IT` is clearer than `Information Technology Department Content`. ### Step 3 — Edit an existing Category Hover over a Category row and select the **Edit** icon (or select the category name) to open the **Edit Category** panel on the right. All fields from Step 2 are editable: - Update the **Name** or **Color** and watch the **Preview** pill reflect the change. - Add or remove **Spaces** assignments using the multi-select. - Select **Save changes** to save. ![](https://service.netpresenter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-40-25-3662-AM.png?width=913&height=392&name=image-png-Jun-26-2026-09-40-25-3662-AM.png) > **Heads up:** Renaming a Category updates it everywhere it is displayed, including on content that was already tagged with it. ### Step 4 — Delete a Category Hover over a Category row and select the **Delete** icon. > **Important:** Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Content that was tagged with the deleted Category will no longer carry that tag. Review which content items use the Category before deleting. ### Verification After creating or editing a Category, confirm it appears correctly in the list: 1. Return to the **Categories** list and locate the Category by name or use the search box. 2. Verify the color dot matches the hex value you entered. 3. As a Creator, open the content tagging step when creating or publishing a Slide or Article and confirm the Category appears in the picker. - [Content Creation](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/content-creation?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/settings?hsLang=en) - [Configurations](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/configurations?hsLang=en) - [Requirements](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/requirements?hsLang=en) - [Deployment](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/deployment?hsLang=en) - [Security](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/security?hsLang=en) - [Cloud Services](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/cloud-services?hsLang=en) - [Guides](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/guides?hsLang=en) - [Product Sheets](https://service.netpresenter.com/support/product-sheets?hsLang=en) [![Netpresenter\_Logo\_2023\_500x75px](https://service.netpresenter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Netpresenter_Logo_2023_500x75px.png?width=250&height=38&name=Netpresenter_Logo_2023_500x75px.png "Netpresenter_Logo_2023_500x75px")](https://www.netpresenter.com/) The visual employee and emergency communications platform © 2026 Netpresenter
