# Categories

Customization categories group related visual options together in the customization UI.

## Creating a Category Entry

Open the Spark Editor, go to **Character Customization > Categories** and click **Create New**.

Each category entry defines:

| Field        | Description                                                                                        |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Display Name | Category label shown in the customization UI (e.g., "Hair", "Eyes", "Face", "Body", "Skin Color"). |
| Sort Order   | Display order in the UI — lower values appear first.                                               |

Categories organize both elements and colors. For example, a "Hair" category might contain hair style elements and a hair color option, while a "Face" category might contain facial feature elements.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sparkframework.dev/documentation/user-guide/plugins/customization/categories.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
