- Go to Content -> Category Manager. Click 'New' and create a new category using the same name as your section you just created (Eg:Sports). Make sure the 'Section' is the same as the one you just created.
- Go to Content -> All Content Items. Check the content you want moved to your new category and then hit 'Move' at the top right.
