Edit the structure of a taxonomy

Change the order within a taxonomy

As the site evolves, we need to change the structure of a taxonomy.

1. Select the categories to reposition.

2. Click the Move To button.

3. Select the category to move.

4. Click OK.

5. Select a taxonomy or a category to move the category under. Items we do not have sufficient access to select are grayed out. If these items have children we can still navigate down to select them.

6. Click OK.

Copy a category

As a taxonomy evolves, we are required to edit the taxonomy by copying categories from one section of the taxonomy to another. Use the Copy button to copy a category in a taxonomy.

1. Navigate to a category list.

2. Select a category.

3. Click Copy.

4. Select a library.

5. Select a taxonomy or a category to copy the category under. Items we do not have sufficient access to select are grayed out. If these items have children we can still navigate down to select them.

6. Click OK.

What to do next

The children of an item are not copied when copying an item. We must copy any children separately.

Move a category

As a taxonomy evolves, we are required to edit the taxonomy by moving categories from one section of the taxonomy to another. Use the Move button to change the position of a category in a taxonomy. When we reposition a parent category, any child categories are also moved.

1. Navigate to a category list.

2. Select a category.

3. Click Move.

4. Select a library.

5. Select a taxonomy or a category to move the category under. Items we do not have sufficient access to select are grayed out. If these items have children we can still navigate down to select them.
