Apply or unapply categories
When the Categories feature is enabled by the organization admin, you can apply categories to items or unapply them as needed.
Important considerations
You must have read/write permissions to use the Categories feature.
You can select a maximum of 50 items at a time.
Organization admins can allow users to manage categories on system-locked and user-locked items. When enabled, users with read/write access can manage categories on locked items. For more information, see Enable category management for locked items.
Managing access will have an impact on cross-project use of categories. When a user is working with a cross-project list in Reading View and they click Manage categories, the displayed categories are limited to Global categories and categories that intersect with the selected projects.
When you view an older version, you can see which categories were applied or unapplied.

Select the items where you want to apply or unapply categories.
Open the Manage Categories page depending on your view.
