# Moving an Article to a Different Category

Having a spring cleaning for your knowledge base? You'll probably wanna know how to move your articles to different categories. It's super easy and only takes a few clicks 🐭

### Moving a Single Article

1. Head to your article
2. Click the C**ategory Dropdown**
3. Click or search for the new category
   
   Have a lot of nested categories? Hovering over the category will in the dropdown will show you the full path
4. Hit **Save Changes**

If you're using [the alternate URL style](/article/fZuYbOcfwN-using-pretty-urls) changing an article's category will break any links you're using. To fix this you'll need to [set up URL redirects](/article/QEx7nXwz5j-adding-url-redirects).

### Moving Multiple Articles

You can also move a bunch of articles at once with our [Bulk Tools](/article/jyd570o8vo-bulk-edit-status-author-and-stale-status-for-multiple-articles)

![](https://files.helpdocs.io/Ytt2uahFxY/articles/dath1xicjb/1611742096104/set-bulk-category.gif)

1. Head to the **Content** tab
2. Select the articles you wanna move
3. Click **Bulk Edit**
4. Select the new category under **Category**
5. Click **Apply edits**

When selecting all articles in the category the **Bulk Edit** feature will only move articles not the entire category when selected.
