你好，我通过 [Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com)（原 DiscourseHosting）成功安装了 Discourse，但现在在构建我的第一个社区时遇到了挑战。首先，我需要帮助设置分类布局。我希望我的分类能够像 Discourse 演示版那样排列（参见图片），每个分类下都有定义说明！我该如何实现这一点？

Edit the settings on the category and click ‘Edit Description’ - once edited it will appear below the category.

One thing to note - even if you add a category description, the description will only display in that dropdown for non-staff users that are Trust Level 0. See below:

> [@Discourse 2.0.0.beta5 Release Notes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-0-0-beta5-release-notes/83881/1):
>
> ### Remove category description in category-drop for staff or TL \> 0
> 
> No, you’re not going crazy. Category descriptions have been removed from the category dropdown filter for staff and TL1+ users. This allows many more categories to fit without scrolling, as staff and non-new users should have a good idea what each category is for. Descriptions are still provided with hover tooltips, and continue to be listed in the composer category dropdown.

You won’t see it as explained above. Descriptions are only visible to trust level 0 (new) users.

If your site is a new community with bootstrap mode still running then the first 50 users are created at trust level 1 and won’t see it either.
