| To edit categories, on the "{{int:visualeditor-pagemenu-tooltip}}" menu, click the "{{int:visualeditor-categories-tool}}" item. If the tool is not visible, first search for three horizontal lines. That's where it is.

| Clicking on "{{int:visualeditor-categories-tool}}" opens a dialog that lists existing categories and allows you to add new ones, and to delete existing categories.
 
You also have the option of setting or changing the general (default) sorting key, which determines where the page appears when listed with other pages in the same category.
 
For example, the default sorting key for the article "George Washington" is "Washington, George". In the category "Presidents of the United States", the article is listed under the letter "W", not the letter "G".

| To add a category for a page, type the name of the category into the field "{{int:visualeditor-dialog-meta-categories-input-placeholder}}". As you type, VisualEditor will search for possible matching, existing categories. You can either select an existing category, or you can add a category that doesn't yet have its own category page. (Until that category page is created, your new category will show as a red link after you publish all your editing changes.)

| To remove an existing category, click on it and click on the "{{int:visualeditor-inspector-remove-tooltip}}" icon (trash can) in the dialog that opens.
 
Clicking on a category also allows you to specify a sorting key for that specific category. Such a sorting key overrides the default sorting key.
