# Catalogs
In the **Catalogs** section, you can see a list of the catalogs in your system. For your convenience, you can use the search bar to find the relevant catalogs or sort them by their visibility, name or where they are published to.
You can modify the default view and decide which catalogs properties are displayed in the table. To remove or add certain properties, use the orchestration icon to pick what you'd like to see:
To remove a catalog, you can either delete a single item from the list with Delete icon, or delete multiple items. To delete multiple items at once, select the chosen items and choose **Delete** button.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Using Management Dashboard, you can only delete up to 30 items at once. 30 is the maximum number of items that can be displayed on one page.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
*Searching for catalogs using date filters*
* **Visibility start** displays catalogs with the visibility start date that is **the same as** or comes **after** the selected date.
* **Visibility end** displays catalogs with the visibility end date that is **earlier than** or **the same as** the selected date.
* Using both **Visibility start** and **Visibility end** results in filtering the catalogs that are visible between the selected dates range.
* **Last published** displays catalogs that were last published **on** the selected date.
{% endhint %}
### Creating a catalog
1. Go to **Catalogs** -> **Catalogs** and choose **Add New Catalog**.
2. Fill out the relevant information about the catalog by switching to subsequent tabs:
* **Details**: give an ID, a name (mandatory property) and a description
* **Categories**: assign the root categories to the catalog
* **Published**: decide which site to publish to
* **Visibility**: define the period of its visibility
{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the **Catalog name** is mandatory for a catalog creation. You can decide to edit other details later.\
You can also set up a custom catalog ID in the **Id** field. Otherwise, a unique ID is automatically generated when the catalog is created.
{% endhint %}
4. To confirm catalog creation, choose **Save**.
### Editing a catalog
1. Select a catalog from the list to view its details.
2. Modify the details accordingly.
3. To confirm your changes, choose **Save**. To revert to the previous state, choose **Discard**.
