What are Categories?
In the Olive Tree Bible App, categories help you organize annotations (notes, highlights and saved passages) into groups that make sense for your study.
You can create categories (and subcategories) to organize content by topic, study type, sermon series, date, or any method you prefer. Each annotation can be assigned to one category at a time.
We recommend using the Notes section in the menu (left sidebar) for the most streamlined experience.

You can create a category through the Menu by following these steps:
- Tap the Menu icon in the upper left corner.

Delete a Category
You can delete a category through the Menu. Please note that if you delete a category that has annotations in it, those annotations will also be deleted. You may need to move the annotations from the category before you can delete the category.
- Tap the Menu icon.
- Select 'Notes'.
- Locate the category you want to delete.
- Tap and hold the category and select 'Delete'.
