Categories are pre-defined lists set up by an Admin user to organize content into broad, meaningful groups.
Once a category is created, it can be assigned to your content, enhancing searchability and enabling more accurate recommendations within your content library. This helps users easily find relevant material based on their interests.

- the (...) actions menus, then Edit
- Select one or more categories from the drop-down list

Category Considerations:
- Content can be added to one or more categories. So when a user searches the library via the Categories filter, they will see all videos with the relevant category associated with it.
- You can not use Categories to manage member access, packages or discounts to videos associated with a specific categories. You must use Channels, Collections, or the individual content settings to manage access.
- Content ( a video, resource or course) can be added to one of more categories.
- There is a Categories Page that can be turned on for your content library.
