Before adding products to your catalog, it is required to establish the category structure. ScandiPWA supports the most popular category management actions:

| FIELD                                    | STATUS        | DESCRIPTION                                                                                               |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Enabling Category                        | **SUPPORTED** | Categories can be enabled with the respective changes on the front-end immediately after save.            |
| Disabling Category                       | **SUPPORTED** | Categories can be disabled with the respective changes on the front-end immediately after save.           |
| Root Category Assigning to a Store       | **SUPPORTED** | The products in the main menu are determined by the root category that is assigned to the store.          |
| Category Creation                        | **SUPPORTED** | Categories can be created with the respective changes on the front-end immediately after save.            |

**NOTE!**

In ScandiPWA, the menu creation is performed separately from category management in the back-end. To learn more in the [Menu Manager](https://manual.scandipwa.com/v5.2.6/progressive-web-app/menu-manager) section.
