# Collection Categories
Categories help you **group related Collections by topic**, keeping your interface organized and easier to navigate - especially when managing a large number of Collections. You can set Collection Categories through Collection Page or Collection Detail Page.
👉 **Practical Example – Marketing Projects:** If you're managing multiple marketing projects, create a **main Category** called **“Brand”** → then create **sub-categories** under it using project names (e.g., “Campaign A”, “Product Launch B”…). This allows you to group Collections related to each project in a clear and structured way.

**Tip:** *To organize your Collection effectively, use a combination of Main Category and Sub-Category in a clear hierarchy.*
