# Add categories to apps

To better manage the list of applications that displays on your My Apps page, you may want to classify apps of the same type within categories. By categorizing apps, you can then sort and group apps that belong together. Doing so can help you find what you're looking for when you visit the My Apps page.

> [!NOTE]
> Note: Categories are personal settings. The categories you create won't appear to other users. They display only on your My Apps page.

To add a category for an application:

1. On My Apps, switch to the list view:

2. On the app row, select in the Category column and select **Add**.
3. Type a name for the new category, and then select **Ok**.

Your new category assignment for that app appears, and the new category appears in the Category column and the Edit categories dialog.
