Categories, Drag-and-Drop Reordering & Themes

Administrators can reshape the entire documentation tree, add external links, and customize visual styling directly from the browser—with zero CSS build pipelines.

Organizing Categories & Drag-and-Drop Reordering

• Create Categories & Sub-Folders: Click + Cat at the top of the left sidebar to create a top-level category or nest it beneath an existing parent category.
• Drag-and-Drop Reordering (⣿): Signed-in admins see grip handles (⣿) on categories, nested folders, hyperlinks, and chapters. Drag items up or down to reorder them, or drop a chapter into another category; changes persist immediately to qwiki.json.
• Navigation Hyperlinks (🔗): Add internal or external links at root level or inside any category via New Document (Link) and edit them later with their ⚙️ button.

Cascading Themes & Built-in Theme Editor

Standalone Qwiki ships with multiple built-in CSS themes (theme-default.css, theme-article-classic.css, theme-article-modern.css, theme-newsletter-minimal.css, theme-newsletter-highlights.css) and lets themes cascade across three levels:

1. Site Default Theme: Set globally in ⚙️ Settings ➔ 🌐 General.
2. Category Theme: Override for a specific section in Edit Category ➔ 📁 General ➔ Category Theme (or choose -- Inherit from Site --).
3. Document Theme: Override for a single landing page or article in Edit Document Entry Details ➔ 🎨 Display & SEO.

Customizing CSS Live

Open ⚙️ Settings ➔ 🌐 General ➔ 🎨 Open Theme Editor to edit existing themes or create custom CSS theme files with live preview directly in the browser.
