What is the difference between a category and a space?

Omar Haddad Omar Haddad 3 months ago Resolved

Just getting started and I want to get the mental model right. A category seems to be a grouping, and a space is where the actual posts live — is that correct?

When should I create a new category versus just another space?

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Short answer: yes, and here is the supported path.

  1. Open the relevant settings panel.
  2. Make the change there rather than editing files.
  3. Save, then reload to confirm.

Doing it this way means your change survives updates. Hand-editing files does not.
