# Categorizing your space

### :question: What are my options?

As a space admin, you can assign categories to your space to make it easier for users to find in the spaces directory.&#x20;

Platform admins can also simplify access by listing spaces in the sidebar based on their categories.

### :bulb: Good to know

* **Restricted Categories**: Some categories may only be visible or accessible to certain users or admins based on permissions.
  * That doesn't mean items are not visible to users
* **Limited Assignment**: Only authorized users can add specific categories to spaces.

### &#x20;:tools: How to add categories to my space?

1. Go to **Space Settings > Categories**.
2. Use the form to add categories.
   * Available categories will be listed for selection.
   * If no categories are listed, contact your administrator.
3. **Important Notes**:
   * Selecting a parent category does not automatically select its subcategories.
   * You need to select subcategories individually.
   * Spaces identified with a subcategory will also appear in searches filtered by the parent category.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meeds.io/meeds-guides/user-guide/administering-a-space/categorizing-your-space.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
