# Manage Content Categories

Creating categories to differentiate the content based on its nature with unique order and name. Users can create new categories from the admin panel, and are able to set it as default, publish on Navbar, Featured, unfeatured,  or delete, etc. A category may be managed as separate or under the parent category. A thumb may be applied to each category as well a description can be written. A category can also be set as a trailer category so the videos on this category may be assigned with the trailers. 

Describing the content nature is best to stimulate the interest of the audience as well as they can jump quickly to the relevant content of their choice on the front end

From here, the admin user can create, edit, and manage, and delete the video categories.
