# Categories

Threads can be added to categories, which allows them to be quickly accessed on your homepage.

## Adding threads to a category

You can add threads to categories in two ways:

1. **In the editor**, using the "Thread category" button at the top of the screen.
2. **In your homepage,** by [selecting ](/page-guides/home.md#bulk-editing-and-deleting)thread/s, then using the "Add to category" button on the floating toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This technique can be used to add many threads to a category at once.

When adding threads to a category, you can select existing categories, or [create a new one](#creating-a-category).&#x20;

Threads can only be added to a single category at a time.

## Creating a category

When you create a category, you will need to supply a name, an emoji, and a color. Threaditor will use these three things to make you categories easy to find.

Once a category has been created, the selected thread/s will be added to it automatically.
