# Categories and classifications

> Set up categories, classification ranks, and tags for documents and chat filters.

Categories, classification levels, and tags are how files are organized and how chat filters work.

## Categories

Open **Admin Center** → **Categories**. Build a tree that matches how the organization thinks about knowledge (teams, products, regions, or policy types).

Documents always belong to at least one category. If an uploader picks none, ScopeRAG uses **Uncategorized**.

Plan limits cap how many categories you can create. Owners and administrators can also add a category from the Documents sidebar.

## Classification levels

Open **Classifications**. Each level has a **name** and a numeric **rank**. Higher rank means more sensitive.

Example:

| Name         | Rank |
| ------------ | ---- |
| Public       | 0    |
| Internal     | 10   |
| Confidential | 20   |

Assign every uploaded file a level. Groups use a level as the maximum their members may read.

## Tags

Tags are free-form labels on documents. They do not grant access. They are useful in chat filters when you want a cross-cutting topic (for example `q4-policy` or `onboarding`) that is not a category.

Create and attach tags while uploading or editing a document.

<Info>
  Changing a category or classification later does not automatically rewrite past chat answers. New questions use the updated metadata.
