> 📣 There have been many changes to this feature since first released. Check out [Category Moderator Improvements](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-moderator-improvements/158628) for the latest details.
In the latest builds of Discourse I’ve recently [merged a feature](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/404b35bd041362bd3d855e95f2bcba5791d16409) that some forums have been asking for some time now, the ability for regular non-staff users of a group to moderate and review content in specific categories.
### How to Use
1. Enable the `enable category group moderation` site setting. It’s default to off.
_The site setting was called `enable category group review` on earlier versions of Discourse. If you can’t find `enable category group moderation` in site settings, try searching for the old setting name._
2. Edit a category, and click **Settings**. Under the **Moderation** section you’ll have the ability to add a single group.
3. Members of your group will now see the **Needs Review** section in the header, with a count of the items they can review. They can go into the queue and review queued posts and flags.
The feature is brand new so I’d expect some bugs until we polish it. Please provide feedback and I’ll address it quickly!
