  How do we mark a category on a post in the new block editor? I find the tags section on the prepublish page but not the category. Have you done away with it?

  Hi there,

  If, when you are editing a post, you open the settings tab (the cog symbol) in the top right-hand-corner, then you will find an option on the ‘Document’ menu called ‘Categories’. There is an option to Add New Category if you want to add another one, or select an already-made category.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi there, hope you don’t mind me adding to this conversation. There’s also a screenshot of what @writer0001 describes in our support guide at https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/#assigning-posts-to-categories Sometimes seeing thing helps too. Cheers
