Organize and delete categories

Find, move, and delete categories while understanding how structural changes affect schematics and subcategories.

Find a category

Select the required root category and use Search categories to search names and descriptions within that tree.

Matching categories remain visible together with the parent branches needed to locate them.

Expand the category tree

Use the arrow beside a category to show or hide its subcategories. Root categories are selected separately from the Root category list.

Move a category

Drag a category onto the category that should become its new parent.

The moved category becomes a subcategory of the target category. Its existing subcategories move with it.

You cannot move a category into one of its own descendants.

Delete a category

Select the delete icon beside the category and confirm the deletion.

Deleting a category also deletes its subcategories and removes those category assignments from schematics. It does not delete the schematics themselves.

Delete a root category

Select the required root category and use the delete button beside the Root category selector.

The complete root tree and its subcategories are removed after confirmation.

Integration-managed trees

Categories managed by an integration cannot be moved, renamed, created, or deleted from PartGrid.
