Categories and tags help organize collection items by theme to improve visitor navigation. Here's how to effectively use them:

Categories vs. Tags

• Categories: Use for broad topics/types (e.g., "Tops," "Bottoms" for stores)
• Tags: Use flexibly for specific details like keywords, dates, or themes

Supported Collection Items (Version 7.1):

• Blog Posts
• Events
• Products
• Videos (categories only)
• Album Tracks

Adding Categories and Tags:

1. Open the item editor
2. Click "Categories" or "Tags"
3. Enter new items or select existing ones
4. Press Enter to add
5. Click Save

Formatting Guidelines:

• Categories: 25 characters max
• Tags: 80 characters max
• Avoid special characters (commas, +, &, %)
• Case-sensitive entries

Display Options:

• Blog: Categories show as metadata; tags appear on posts
• Events: Categories/tags display at bottom of individual events
• Store: Category navigation at top/sidebar; tags hidden
• Videos: Category navigation at top (cannot be hidden)

Management Tips:

• Bulk edit through page settings
• Rename, delete, or merge categories/tags
• Update links manually after changes
• Categories/tags improve site search visibility
• Use blocks (archive, summary, tag cloud) to display filtered content
• Categories help suggest related products

Note: Categories and tags are managed per collection page, not site-wide. Update links and summary blocks manually after renaming or merging categories/tags.
