# Select Categories for elements

You can select any number of Categories for each element without restrictions.

##

There are no automatic checks to consider; elements that reference each other do not need to be in the same Category. If you are using a Category Filter, the Categories included in the Category Filter are added to new elements when you create them. You can also manually select other Categories for elements and remove the automatically added Categories.
