How to Manage Categories & Tags in BetterDocs?

Categories and Tags tell BetterDocs which Doc Page should sit where. Categories are used for Broad Grouping of identical Documentation Pages. And, Tags are used to narrow down the focus to a specific topic. These two combined help you to create a good taxonomy for your Documentation Page which ultimately helps in boosting your SEO ranking.
