Create Categories

As an administrator, you can create categories in your domain's Template gallery for organizing templates added to your domain (similar to the categories Google uses in the Public gallery).

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsGoogle WorkspaceSites.
3. On the Settings for Sites page, click Templates - classic Sites.
4. In the Categories section, type a category name in the field and click Save.
   Your category is now listed above the field.
5. (Optional) Enter more names to add as many categories as you want. To add more than one string into the field, press Enter.

Your categories appear in your domain's private Template gallery. Also, when users add a template to the gallery, they can select any 2 categories to place their template in.

Remove categories

To remove a category from your domain's Template gallery, just uncheck it in the Admin console. This doesn't delete any templates currently in the category—they're still in the gallery. They're just not in any category.

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsGoogle WorkspaceSites.
3. On the Settings for Sites page, click Templates - classic Sites.
4. Under Categories, uncheck the category you want to remove and click Save.
