# Add, remove, and reorder categories
> Categories group your feedback posts by type, such as Feature, Bug, or Improvement. Create your own categories, choose where each is available, control voting and visibility, reorder them, and delete the ones you no longer use.
A **category** groups posts by type, for example Feature, Bug, or Improvement. Every post has one category, and users pick it when they submit feedback. Categories are how you keep your board organized: they drive the category filter on the feedback list, the badge on each post, and where a post is allowed to appear.
You manage them in [**Settings → Categories**](https://app.sleekplan.com/settings/categories).
Categories are workspace-wide. Adding, renaming, reordering, or deleting one affects every post and, depending on its settings, what your users see on the public board, roadmap, and changelog.
## The default category
One category is your **default** (named Feature to start). New posts land in it when no other category is chosen, and posts from a deleted category fall back to it. You can rename and recolor the default, but you cannot delete it, so there is always somewhere for posts to go.
## Add a category
Go to [**Settings → Categories**](https://app.sleekplan.com/settings/categories) and click **New category** in the top right.
Give the category a short name and choose a color. The color is the dot shown next to the category everywhere it appears.
Under **Availability**, decide which surfaces the category can be used on:
* **Feedback board** lets users file posts of this category on your feedback board.
* **Changelog** lets you tag changelog entries with this category.
You cannot turn off the last category still enabled for a board, so there is always at least one category to post or publish under.
The **Advanced** toggles fine-tune how the category behaves. Leave them off unless you need one:
* **Hidden category** hides the category and all of its posts from the public board and [roadmap](/help/roadmap). Use it for internal-only work.
* **Hide from roadmap** keeps the category on the board but off the roadmap.
* **Disable submission** stops users from creating new posts in this category (existing posts stay).
* **Disable voting** turns off voting on posts in this category.
* **Hide vote count** keeps voting on but hides the number from users.
Click **Create**. The category is available right away wherever you enabled it.
If your workspace uses segments, the dialog also shows a **Segment** field that ties the category to a user segment. It only appears when you have segments set up.
## Reorder categories
The order here sets the order categories appear in the category picker and on your board. Put the ones users reach for most at the top.
Hover a category row to reveal the drag handle on its left.
Drag the row up or down and drop it where you want it. The new order saves on its own.
## Edit a category
Click a category name, or the pencil icon that appears when you hover its row, to reopen the same form and change its name, color, availability, or advanced options. You can edit the default category too, you just cannot delete it.
## Delete a category
Hover the category you want to remove and click the trash icon on the right. The default category has no trash icon because it cannot be deleted.
Click **Delete category**. Any posts in it move to the default category (they are not deleted), and the category is removed everywhere. This cannot be undone.
