When you save the category or click <b>Save &amp; Close<\/b> the category will be live on your site.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> For categories, you have many of the same metadata options available as you do when creating articles.  These include: publication status, access, tags, notes, and version notes.  See our full guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/joomla\/joomla-4\/create-joomla-articles\/\">creating articles<\/a> for information about content metadata. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"category-hierarchy\">Category Hierarchies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nCategories can also be sorted into a hierarchy.  In essence, these are like child\/parent relationships.  One category can be a parent of another, and likewise a certain category can be the child of another.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In this example, I\u2019ve created a category called \u201cUpdates\u201d and assigned the category \u201cNews\u201d as parent.  In effect, this means that updates are a nested category within the broader category of news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4_Selection_052.png\" alt=\"Adding to news category\" class=\"wp-image-87692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4_Selection_052.png 500w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4_Selection_052-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"assign-categories\">Assign Categories to Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nOne of the main reasons to create categories is to assign them to pieces of content.
