You can now view any chat channels associated with a category from that category’s settings area. This improvement helps admins understand which chat channels are connected to a given category and easily access the chat settings areas for those channels.

This can be particularly helpful in cases where you need to delete a particular category, since you’ll first need to remove any chat channels associated with it. In a future update, we hope to also show all the chat channels associated with the child subcategories as well, for a more complete picture of the category ← → chat channel(s) relationship.
