# Managing Microapp Categories
## Let’s walk through categories — the simplest way to keep a growing microapp Library organized. Whether you have a handful of microapps or hundreds, categories make everything easier to find.
This article covers topics related to managing and organizing microapps within a Tiled Library. You will find that managing your microapps into categories, is a great way to organize your library.

### **How Categories Work**
Categories group related Microapps together inside a Tiled Library. Every new Microapp starts out in Uncategorized until you assign it elsewhere, and a single Microapp can belong to more than one category at a time.

### **Creating a Microapp Category**
1\. **Open Edit Categories** — select the category icon on your Library page.
2\. **Start a new category** — select New Category.
3\. **Name it** — type a name into the field.

4\. **Confirm** — select the checkmark. Tiled automatically assigns the category a color, which then appears on every Microapp icon assigned to it.
5\. **Exit editing** — select Done Editing when you’re finished.

| **Pro Tip:** Category colors are assigned automatically and can’t be customized, but they’re a fast visual way to spot which Microapps belong to which category right from the Library grid. |

### **Renaming a Microapp Category**
1\. **Select the category** — to open it for editing.
2\. **Select the category name** — to make it editable.
3\. **Type the new name** — replacing the existing text.
4\. **Confirm** — select the checkmark to save.

### **Delete a Microapp category**
1\. **Select the category** — to open it for editing.
2\. **Select Delete Category** — at the bottom of the panel.
3\. **Confirm** — select OK in the confirmation window. The category is removed from the Library.

| **Heads Up:** Deleting a category does not delete the microapps inside it. Any microapp that was only assigned to the deleted category automatically returns to Uncategorized. |

### **Reordering Microapp Categories**
Select and drag a category to move it to a new position. The order you set is reflected in how categories appear across the Library.

### **Managing Which Microapps Belong to a Category**
### **Adding a Microapp to a Category**
Select a Microapp icon and drag it onto the category you want to assign it to. Once assigned, that category’s color appears on the Microapp icon.
Once assigned, that category’s color appears on the Microapp icon.[](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/Microapp%20Categories%20Callouts-6_add-a-microapp-to-a-category.png)
### **Removing a Microapp from a Category**
1\. **Select the category** — to open it for editing.
2\. **Select the X** — next to the microapp’s name. The microapp is removed from that category.
If the Microapp isn’t assigned to any other category, it returns to Uncategorized automatically.

| **Try It Yourself:** Create a test category, drag two microapps into it, then remove one using the X. Seeing the full cycle once makes the whole system click. |
