# Adding categories

**Categories** group related articles so customers can browse your portal by topic. Each language of the portal has its own categories.

## Create a category

1. Open **Help Center → Categories** and pick the language at the top.
2. Click **New category**.
3. Enter a **Name** (you can add an icon), a **Slug** for its address, and a **Description** shown on the portal.
4. Confirm. The category appears on the portal home page once it has published articles.

## Edit, order and remove

Each category has **Edit category** to change its details and a delete option. Drag categories to change the order they appear on the portal home page. Deleting a category leaves its articles in place without a category.

## Filing articles

Pick an article's category beside its title in the editor, or move many at once with **Category** in the article list's bulk bar. Articles without a category show as **Uncategorised**.
