How to edit news/blog site catagories

Categories are a helpful tool that you can use to organize the presentation of your content in pages and other content feeds. There are a total of seven categories available to choose from. You can choose to include additional categories or edit a current category if needed. The category listing is contained in a Cascade Metadata set in the administrative menu of the news/blog site.

Important: Deleting a category that is in use by another asset (article post or category page) could cause display issues and page errors.
