How do I manage categories for a catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can manage your categories though a catalog's Categories page. You can view your category names and types. You can also edit, add, or delete categories. Categories are based either on a tag or on a subcatalog name.

When you create categories in a parent catalog, you can set a subcatalog to automatically use those categories. However, you can also disassociate a subcatalog's categories from the parent and create custom categories in a subcatalog.
