Move projects to a different category

You move a project to a different category in the project's settings, in the Category field on the Basic information tab. Categories group your projects to keep the dashboard organised, to give users specific rights to a group of projects, and to help visitors choose within the navigation environment.


Moving a project to a category


To move a project to a different category:


  1. Open the project, and in the left sidebar under the project's thumbnail, click Project settings. You can also go to the projects overview, hover over the ... button on the project tile and choose Settings.
  2. On the Basic information tab, click the Category field.
  3. Select one or more categories. To take the project out of a category, click the x on that category's tag.
  4. Click Save.


A project can be in more than one category; it then appears in each of them. The list only shows categories of the project's own publication type that you're allowed to edit, and shows the domain each category is coupled to. If a category is coupled to a domain, projects you put in it are published on that domain once they're live.


Creating a category


To create a category:


  1. In the top bar, open Settings and choose Categories.
  2. Click Add category.
  3. Under Category name, type a name. This name is shown in the projects overview's left menu and in the Category field of Project settings.
  4. Under Publication type, choose the type of project the category is for. A category belongs to one publication type. The list shows only the publication types your account has, out of Publications, Micro content, Websites, Offers and Print publications.
  5. Optional: tick Hide from overview to keep the category and its publications off the overview that visitors see. The publications stay online and reachable via their direct link, and publications that are also in a visible category stay visible. In the dashboard, a hidden category stays in the projects overview's left menu, marked with an eye-slash icon.
  6. Under Publication space (home), choose the domain the category belongs to.
  7. Under Category rights, choose who can see and edit the projects in the category. The options are described in Category rights options.
  8. If your account uses teams and you're a Super admin, tick one or more teams under Add to team. A new category must be added to at least one team before you can save it.
  9. Click Save.


Add category is greyed out until your account has a domain, because a category always belongs to a publication space.

Category rights options


Category rights decide who can see and edit the projects in a category. You choose them under Category rights when you add or edit a category:


  • Personal category: every user sees their own projects, which they can share with other users. This is the default for a new category.
  • Team category: every user can see and edit the projects in the category.
  • User category: the category is only visible when it is assigned to a user. Projects in it can be shared separately. This option may not be available on every account.
  • Team category (read only): projects in the category can't be edited, but can be embedded or downloaded in Presenter.
  • Leadership category (private): the category is only visible to the Super admin and Team leaders. Projects in it can be shared separately.


Changing the order of categories


To change the order of categories, go to Settings > Categories and click the up or down arrow next to a category. Categories are ordered within their own publication type.


Frequently asked questions


Why can't I see a category in my project's Category list?


The Category field in Project settings only lists categories of the project's own publication type that you're allowed to edit. For example, a project of the type Websites only lists categories whose publication type is Websites. If the category you're looking for is for another publication type, or you don't have edit rights on it, it isn't in the list.


Can a project be in more than one category?


Yes. In the project's Project settings, on the Basic information tab, you can select more than one category in the Category field. The project then appears in each of those categories.


What happens to a project when I move it to another category?


If the category is coupled to a domain, the project is published on that domain once it's live. The category's rights then decide who can see and edit the project.
