# Edit categories {% hint style="info" %} Batch actions work in the background, when they are fully executed you will see confirmation in the [Action center](/dashboard/dashboard/user-menu-and-action-center.md) and a new entry in [Activities](/system/activities/batch-actions.md). {% endhint %} Here you may perform three actions:

#### Add to categories This action assigns products to selected categories and keeps the existing ones.

1. This is just an icon to visually indicate what type of action it would perform. 2. This will filter categories from the \[5] list to a specific category tree. 3. This will filter the \[5] list to display only those categories that are checked. 4. This will select all categories displayed in the \[5] list. 5. This is a list of categories. 6. This will expand the category \[5] list. Click on Add to categories to proceed or Cancel to abort. If you go with it, a final confirmation window will appear.

#### Change categories This will work exactly like a [#add-to-categories](#add-to-categories "mention") but will change product categories and remove existing ones. #### Remove from categories This will work exactly like a [#add-to-categories](#add-to-categories "mention") but will remove products from the selected categories --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
