# Categories for Section and Block Presets

DateMay 21, 2025

SurfacesThemes

We've added a new optional `category` property for section and block presets that helps you organize your presets into logical groups. Now your merchants can find the right design elements faster and more intuitively in the Online Store Editor.

You can learn more by visiting [block preset](http://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/blocks/theme-blocks/schema#presets) and [section preset](http://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/sections/section-schema#presets) docs.
