How to edit categories

Opening a category to edit

  1. Go to the Categories page from the left‑hand menu.
  2. Find the category you want to change in the table.
  3. In the Manage column for that row, click the edit button.
  4. You will be taken to the Edit category screen.

Changing the category name

  1. On the Edit category screen, find the Name field.
  2. Update the name to reflect how you want the category to appear in Xada.
  3. Ensure the name is unique under the same parent category.
  4. Certain special characters, such as forward slash "/", are not allowed.
You can save at this point or continue making other changes on the same screen.

Updating other details

On the same Edit category screen you can also adjust:
  • Sort Order: change the number to control where the category appears relative to its siblings.
  • Description: update or add more information using the editor.
  • Image URL: change the image used for this category on your site, if applicable.
  • Active, favourite, and navigation­‑related switches: control whether the category is in use, highlighted as a favourite, or visible in navigation.
  • Channel‑specific options (for multi‑channel setups): review and adjust how the category behaves per channel if those settings are available.

Saving your changes

  1. Review the updates you have made to the category.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save button.
  3. You will be returned to the Categories page or see a confirmation that your changes have been applied.
Your updated category will now appear with the new name, position, and settings throughout Xada.
