Backend > Catalog > Manage Categories

We can do the following:

Create new root categories and subcategories. You can organize the categories by drag-and-drop.
For multi-stores setup, different stores can have difference sets of root category. After a root category is set up, you can associate it to a store in System > Manage Stores.
You can show the categories in the menu. Only active categories are shown. You can show the category page with products or without, the contents can be set to a static block. You can set this on the Display Settings tab.
You can group products into categories. Another place to do it is on the Categories tab on the product page.
During category setup, it is best to put the index mode to Manual Update. You can do this on System > Index Management > Actions = Change Index Mode > In the Index Mode dropdown, there are two options: Update on Save and Manual Update, choose the latter > click the Submit button. Doing so will avoid the time consuming reindexing from happening. Change the mode to Update on Save when you are done with the category setup.
Install Netzarbeiter_GroupsCatalog2 Show archive.org snapshot extension to hide or show the category on the menu for different customer groups.
