> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

You can allow editors and other users to categorize pages on the **Form** or **Content** tab of the **Pages** application. This makes it possible for users to categorize pages when creating them. Users can also categorize existing pages without having to access the **Properties** tab.

To allow users to categorize pages on the **Form**/**Content** tab, add a new field to the related page types:

1. Open the **Page types** application.
2. **Edit** () the given page type.
3. Switch to the **Fields** tab.
4. Click **New field**.
5. Fill in the properties of the new field as follows:

   - **Field type**: Standard field
   - **Field name**: PageCategories (for example)
   - **Data type**: Text
   - **Size**: 100
   - **Field caption**: Category (for example)
   - **Field description**: any description that you want users to see when hovering over the field caption
   - **Form control**: Multiple categories selector

6. **Save** the field.

Now whenever users edit pages of this type on the **Form** or **Content** tab or create new pages of this type, they can assign categories to the page.
