How to get my custom categories to appear in the sidebar?
I've enabled showing categories in the sidebar, but it only shows Logins and Identities. I have so many other categories associated with the items I imported to my vault, ie., Utilities, Music, Health, Autos, etc. It would help streamline what I want to view, and locate entries more easily.
Update: I have not found a way to show those categories, but I have found that I can create a tag that matches the category, and those headings will appear in the sidebar. It sort of makes any category entry on the actual entry pointless, tho.

Hi Dave...I'll include some screen shots. I don't see any categories other than Logins and Identities in the sidebar. I would assume that is a sorting option, whereby I could select one and then see the associated items in the column to the right. I can't seem to locate how to get other categories, as shown in the link you provided, such as Notes, Credit Cards or Documents, to show up in that sidebar list. You can also see that I've started creating my own Categories based on tags. This allows me to select one and view all items tagged as such. And, you can see the Categories section on the example in the image, but as mentioned, I don't see how that is useful and relates to any feature that could allow me to view those categories.

Hello Topo! 👋
Welcome to 1Password! If you're using an individual or family account then it's not possible to create custom categories right now, instead you can create items using the categories that come included in 1Password:
Can you tell me what you mean when you say that you have custom categories? Are you able to provide a screenshot of what that looks like?
