# Collection Categories
Categories help you **group related Collections by topic**, keeping your interface organized and easier to navigate β especially when managing a large number of Collections. You can set Collection Categories through Collection Page or Collection Detail Page.
### **Practical Example β Marketing Projects**
If you're managing multiple marketing projects:\
π Create a **main Category** called **βBrandβ**\
β then create **sub-categories** under it using project names (e.g., βCampaign Aβ, βProduct Launch Bββ¦).\
This allows you to group Collections related to each project in a clear and structured way.
### **Available Actions with Categories**
Click the **circular arrow icon** next to a Category to open the action menu. You can:
* π **Open Category**
* βοΈ **Rename Category**
* π **Move Category**
* πΌ **Edit Thumbnail**
* π₯ **Edit Collection Permission**
Action Category
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** *To organize your Collection effectively, use a combination of Main Category and Sub-Category in a clear hierarchy.*
{% endhint %}
### Switch to Category View
* To switch to Category view, select the tag **icon at the top right of the Collection.**
* The category view will group Collections in a hierarchical form by these categories, which can be useful when organizing a large amount of Collections.
