On the Categories page (`/categories`), if you have sufficient privileges you can find and hit the `+ New Category` button, which will allow you to create a new Category. On the settings of that Category, you can find “Parent Category” … set that to the desired parent and once you hit the `New Category` button you will create a Subcategory to that Parent Category.

btw, you can also add Categories to the Top Menu in this setting under “Basic Setup”:

The text fields are filled with the words "Latest" in the first row, "Hot" in the second row, "Underread" in the third row, and "Top" in the fourth row. The table is set against a light blue background. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/1/4/b141a5cb61e946d356cd5242351640c1b550b91b.png)
