# Event categorization

You can update an event type's category directly from the *Events*, *Custom Events*, or *Labeled Events* tab. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to the *Events* page and select the *Events*, *Custom Events*, or *Labeled Events* tab.
2. Click the checkbox next to the event name.
3. From the *Categorize* drop-down, select the category to which this event should belong.

For events within *Events*, this only applies to **active** events that are **included in your tracking plan**.

You can also change the event's category from the *Category* column in the *Events*, *Custom Events*, or *Labeled Events* tables or from inside its right-hand fly-out panel. From a table, change the status from the *Category* column's drop-down menu. Click the event name to open its *Details* panel, then navigate to *Category* and select the new category from the drop-down menu.
