What is a subcategory?
Subcategories in a Product give you the ability to further organize your Categories.
Build subcategories into your parent Categories to create bite-sized, manageable sessions for your Members.
Create a subcategory
To create a Subcategory:
- Open the Product tab from the Dashboard.
- Select the Product you wish to edit.
- Click the + Add Content button (directly from the parent Category or select from the overall Outline).
- Select New Subcategory.
- Enter your Subcategory details (title, location, description, thumbnail).
- Click Create Subcategory.

Why use a subcategory?
Subcategories are a great way to further organize your Product Outline and group specific posts together.
A great feature of Subcategories, is the ability to Drip content within the Subcategory. So, if you want to only Drip release specific posts within a Category, you would want to create a Subcategory and set the Subcategory to Drip. This way only those specific posts within the Subcategory will be set to Drip, and not the whole Parent Category.

Subcategories can also be locked, which ensures that your Members must first complete your specified Post to unlock the Subcategory and gain access to that section of content.
