In Imageshop, administrators can easily add, edit and delete categories. Categories are organized as category trees with main categories and subcategories. There is no limit to how many categories or levels you can create.

Important to know:
Only categories containing files or images are visible in the user interface. To make a new category visible, at least one file must be tagged with the category.

It may take up to one hour before new categories appear the first time they are used. You can make the category visible immediately by publishing the interface.
